You can wire 4 lights with 2 switches by creating a "three-way" switch circuit. Connect the power source to the first switch, then run a 3-wire cable from that switch to the second switch. From the second switch, run a 2-wire cable to each of the 4 lights. This allows you to control the lights from either switch.

To wire an outside lamp with a four-wire cable (blue, brown, earth, and yellow), connect the blue wire to the neutral terminal, brown wire to the live terminal, yellow wire to the lamp's switch terminal, and earth wire to the earth terminal for safety purposes. Ensure to switch off the power before starting the wiring process and follow all local electrical codes and guidelines. If unsure, consult with a licensed electrician.
If the tri-light needs a new lamp holder try any reputable lighting house store. These types of retailers have all of the parts that you need to repair any lamp configurations. The new switch will have a rotary switch built into it just like the lamp had when it was new. There are only two wires to connect to it. Don't disconnect the old one until you have the new one and just put the wires on the same terminals as the they are wires on the old switch.
You should never switch the neutral wire. The neutral of the appliance should be connected directly to the neutral wire leading to the service panel neutral bar.
