Wiring Diagram for stock 92 Z Fog Light Switch?

I just got a 92 Fog light switch for my new foglights....i didnt like the cheesy red switch that came with them....first of all...how do i mount it to the dash? The stock one is huge...and has a bracket riveted to the switch and 2 screw holes...what do i do with that? Also....there are 4 connectors on the back.....what do i connect them to? Thanks for the help.

Ok thanks...so where and how did you end up mounting the switch?

the switch is made to go under the headlight ****. If you have a camaro, there should be a little panel under there that just pops out. The switch mounts in there. You could cut that cover to fit your switch or just go to chevy and pay like 3 bucks for one that is made for a z. That's what i did. As far as the actual mounting, it is easy if you take that trimplate (the one containing the cigarette lighter and defroster and headlight ****) off the car. On the back of that should be the holes that the switch can get screwed into. That trim plate is the same as the one that z's come with. Just find some screws that fit in there and it should mount up great. Pop the new cover on there, wire it up and you are done. As far as wiring, from the notes i have, it looks like the switch is set up as follows. ( i will do my best to describe it. the letters represent the prongs on the switch)

A
--B
D C

or similar.
-The A prong gets grounded to something in the car.
-The B prong gets run to a power wire (if you want the lights to be on only when the car is on, just wire that to the fuse block)
-The C prong gets run to the foglights
-The D prong is run to an interior light so the switch lights up when your lights are on.

hopefully this is clear, let me know if you need anymore help

the "A" prong would actually be positioned above the "D" prong at the top of the switch
