i have a switch wire up for my exterior neons and one for my interior neons but they both have 3 prongs for attatching the wires. the new toggle switches i have to replace them only have two prongs but they have a third hole for a prong to go into i think.what do i need to get to put into the hole?! is there a certain order for the wires to go in? ie top prong earth,second one live etc.?

isn't a two pronged switch for 'on and off' whereas a three pronged switch is for either 'a or b'? leave one prong alone for an 'on and off' switch?

the extra prong on your current switch is an earth, and so probably means that the switch itself lights up when the circuit is on (am i right)
the new switch which is 2 wires will not light up, and so all it needs is 2 of the wires, no earth
