ya one wire is coming from battery to switch (power), then another from switch to power wire of device (load), then a ground to make the illumination work (ground). the switch will still work with no ground, it just wont light up.

when you turn on the switch, it connects the power terminal to the load terminal and to the + side of the led in the switch. the other end of the led is connected to the ground terminal.

ya a switch would be the equivalent of you cutting the power wire and when you want it to turn on, just touch the two sides together. its just a power interrupt so that your fogs dont get constant power and stay on all the time.
