I just want to make sure they are right before I hardwire anything. Also, would someone have just a basic picture of the 4 terminals on a switch identifying what each one is/does?

For identifying terminals, look for the + and - signs. Those identify the LED terminals and appropriate polarity. The other two are the switch terminals, and it doesn't matter which side goes where.

Thanks Kouri. I was paying too much attention to the LED color indicator dot in relation to where positive and negative should be. I thought it would be the same on all the AV switches, but the smaller (12mm) ones have the dot in a different place.

I got it wired up successfully (just the battery/recharge port/AV switch, still need to do the main LED). Here are pictures.
