Hella 500 Black Magic switch question

Hey everyone,

I'm a little new to this forum; however, tomorrow I'll be installing a set of black magics I recently received as a gift for my birthday.

The switch that came with the set is a simple, illuminating T85 rocker switch. There are three poles, obviously, one for ground, accessory (i.e. to relay), and supply (i.e. from fuse box).

How do I tell which pole is which? One outer pole has a single hole in it. The other two poles (i.e the middle and the other outer pole) have 1.5 holes in it.

Thanks for the help, I can't seem to find this anywhere and the switch isn't labeled...

Use a multi meter to determine which terminals are which.
