single pole double throw switch. I had one on my amp override switch, so it would turn the amp off, then turn a light on that would let me know its off.

Basically a single switch with 6 spades on the back. Then wire it up accordingly

This should be close to what you have. No try to make the next few pieces look like mine, you will probably destroy the excess like i did.

Now pop the panel out

Pull the socket out, its a pain but it will pop out

Tear the lighter its self apart now, if you cut it so that the bevel still tapers in it will act like the nut and hold the switch

that is soo cool. I found 3 of those switches in a drawer on my work bench just the other day. started to through them away, but decided to keep them. and my wife is always asking me why I always keep junk that I might never use. now I know what to use one of them for. just waiting on a write up now.
