Can Someone Draw Me A Diagram?

Check StewMac.com's various wiring schems and guides. You're asking for bog-standard Strat wiring, and honestly, as with any switch, please spend some time with a multimeter and understand what its actually doing when you flick a level. Heck, looking at most non-encased switches tells you what's going on already, most of the time.

I'm a little stuck now. I have wired most of it but where shall the tone pots on the switch? i'm not sure if i have done it right but I can switch between the pickups and it is sound in them. But I have no clue where the tone pots goes. And is it right to wire the volume pots to the to pins that are for them self?

...I have no clue what all that means. If you can switch, good. If you turn your volume control and the volume drops, good. You can add the tone control in parallel (only connected to the tone pot), no probs. Look at any basic wiring diagram for how.

Tone pot does not attach to the switch, it feeds off your volume pot. The third leg of vour vol pot should be soldered to earth, or back on itself to its own case.

The mid leg of the vol goes to your live output on the jack socket.

The 1st leg of the vol goes to the third leg of your tone pot.

The mid leg of your tone pot goes to a little capacitor and then soldered to earth or better, it's own caase. The 1st leg of the tone pot does nothing.

Look on any of the wiring schematics on Seymour Duncan site, Stewmac site or guitarelectronics.com
