There is a diagram that came w the lights, I just don't want to wire them through my factory light switch. They need their own switch no matter what, unless I want them on at all times. I drive w my headlights on during the day up here in the woods.

Do you mean the toggle or flip switch I plan on installing for the lights? I was planning on having only the ground wired through that switch. Is that the same as having power going through it, as far as amperage to the switch? I'm not an electrical genius but I always wire things like this in their own circuit w a fuse. Can't go wrong that way.
