Electrical is not my forte. I broke some of the prongs on the back of the switch. I need to order a new switch. I looked on Mcmaster carr and not sure which is the correct one. Can anyone direct me o the correct switch on there site or another?

Thanks
Craig

Depending on what type of switch (toggle) you're using, a DPST would do just fine. This will allow the use of single or dual signal dash lights with or without diodes.

Is the one that came with the kit a DTDP? I would like to replace exactly what I have.

maybe something like this? LOOKS cool, and has a guard so you don't accidentally trigger it.

That is it. I found one McMaster Carr and purchased it today.
