Default OEM off-road lighting wiring diagram

Does anyone have the install manual for the OEM off-road lighting kit? Can be for either the grille mounted or roof mounted ones. I bought the switch from these kits to install some aftermarket lights and just want to make sure which pins on the factory switch are for what. There's 3 pins coming out the back of the switch. Thx.

Does the switch light up in any way? If so one is ground, one is power, and one is accessory for the light on the switch.

If you have a voltmeter you could use it to tell what is what by throwing the switch and using the meter to tell when the circuit completes...

If you look close on the back of the switch you will see the markings A, B, and C for the respective pins.

A: GND
B: Accessory
C:+ 12v

yeah i seem to have figured it out. i wired it up so it switches the ground wire and the positive is just there to light up the amber "on" light. kinda sux that the oem switch for this doesn't light up with the dash lights tho(i only assumed it would). i even pulled it apart to check if it's possible and the little little headlight decal on the switch isn't translucent through the back of it at all. capital "G" "A" "Y".

Ordered it from the dealership at a ridiculous price of $50

When I ordered it from the dealership they told me there was only 2 options...buy the switch by itself or you have to buy the whole off road lighting kit to get any sort of wiring. I didn't want to go the latter route.

OEM Roof off road lights on H3
Does anyone else get a buzzing sound coming out the left lower dash area when the off road lights are on. Also they seem awfully dim on my 2009 Alpha????
Thanks
