switches are normally threeprong, i dont think it matters tho. the thrid is just for a LED. so just make sure it is 5 Amp or more, and you're good

major fallacy, everything serves a purpose.

read and learn.

that would depend on the type of switch and your desired use for it. simply put a 2 prong would serve as an on and off whereas a three prong could be used as an on, off, and neutral so to speak.

for a simple sleepy eye all you need is a two prong switch in which the switch opens and closes the circuit.

...uhms yeah, seeing as most toggles come with three prongs hot, nuetral, ground...thats not a failacy, and i know how a circuit works..in this case a two prong will server the purpose unless he wants a LED switch hooked up for whatever reason.

i just made my sleepys work without a switch at all...well, technically my fingers was the switch. not a hard job..took me about 5 minutes.

i grew out of it in 2 days. (car came sleepy eyed,). not really for me. i might go sleepy every once in a while. but not really often. got sick of people asking me if my car's headlights were broke.
