DRL switch ?'s (yes I searched)

I'm planning on doing the DRL mod with an ON/OFF switch. I know I need to cut the black/yellow wire and I found the write-up, but I want to integrate this switch: OTRATTW (yes I like it, haha).
I don't know too much about wiring (yet), so how should I wire the switch, since there are 3 terminals but only 2 wire ends to connect?

If there's a thread about wiring a switch like this, I couldn't find it so a link would be awesome! Thanks guys

you should run your switch if im not mistaken as a complete circuit so that the yellow/positive in goes into the switch then comes off another terminal and continues on back to where it orig was located (wherever you cut it) which just leaves the last terminal as your gnd/neg


(+Y IN) (-GND) (+Y OUT)


if this makes sense at all lol...sorry if not at least i tried

So would I need to run a ground wire somewhere? If the switch just connects/disconnects the circuit that was previously in tact, why is a ground needed?
 
Yeah...like I ran a switch for my lights and put it to the left of my steering wheel in one of those blank areas and ran my ground right behind that fuse panel by ur left kicker panel is a small screw with some other ground wires from your other fuses...i just used the same one...and honestly I am pretty sure it only needs the ground bc of the switch you chose has a little light that tells you if its on or off like actually on the switch right? Well a positive and a neg have to power that for that little switch light to work...catch my drift? i think thats really the only reason it has the ground...otherwise your right you could just use two and make it your break point in the positive part of your circuit...
