Three prongs, one +, - and a third is copper. How should i wire to make the swtich light up(its a lighted switch, lit when on)? I cant seem to find the package it came in that had the diagram.

one is the power to supply the power to the thing thats being turned on.... you need to hook that up to one of the small prongs i beleive.... the ground if i remember correctly is the middle or long prong (ground the switch. dont run the ground from what ever is being switchted to the switch, run its ground seperate), and then the other prong is the power going out to what ever it is being switched... (i beleive thats how it goes)

yep...

it's straight forward...(+) is a positive source, (-) is a ground and the third should be whatever accessory you are powering (wire to leds)
