Easy.


Tear out the wiring loom for the lights, then:

Buy a switch (preferably a 3 prong switch).

Wire power to the switch, ground the switch, then wire the power from the switch to the lights.*




*This way is somewhat risky since you have no relay, but i use mine every night without a relay.

Thats what I did for the first 10 months since I had no clue about using relays. Finally when I got more lights, I did some searching and now have everything wired with relays.


Using a relay allows you to run smaller gauge wire to the switch inside the cabin. Basically how I understood it, the relay is a switch that is triggered by another switch usually inside the cabin.
