Thanks to ROCK SLIDE, I just got a set of KC lights. I want to mount them in the rear for exra backup lighting when I need it. However, I want to be able to control the lights via switch in the cab so I can use them when I want and not blind everyone around me when they arent really needed. I'm not really too electrically-inclined, so I was hoping you guys could help me out here. What's the best way to wire the lights to be controlled by a toggle switch or something like that inside the cab? Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

it comes with the switch right? if so, i mounted mine right above the cluster light dimmer switch. connect the 2 lights together, put a fuse between them, then run that to the switch. then run a ground to either an unpainted part of metal OR the negative battery, it doesnt matter which. then run a single wire to the positive post of the battery. then its done.

 

Mount the lights, run one of the wires to the frame somewhere as a ground, then run the other wire to the dash or wherever you want the switch, then on the other side of the switch run another wire to a 12v wire coming from a hot source in the dash with an inline fuse, such as a cigarette lighter. Do NOT use a cheap thin wire, use a good rated 12 gauge wire as the power from the lights may suck a lot of juice if the wattage is high.
