The Alpena LED Fog Litz 4 # ALP77160 are fairly simple to install with a toggle switch, just make sure you are connecting them to a 12V battery of some sort. I recommend wiring it to the Pollak Light-Duty Toggle Switch - On-Off - 12 Volt - 10 Amp - 6" Wire Leads # PK34513 and using Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connectors (10 pack) # DW05743-10 for your connections.
Attach the negative wire on the fog lights to the negative terminal on the battery (or bare metal for ground connection). Then connect the positive wire to the switch's white wire. The switch's black wire connects to the negative terminal on the battery (or bare metal for ground connection). The switch's red wire attaches to the positive terminal on the battery with the Spectro 16-Gauge Mini Fuse Holder # SWC9544 in between the switch and battery.
If you need more wire to extend the switch wiring to your desired location, I would use 10 Gauge Primary Wire # 10-1-1 which is sold per foot. Unfortunately we do not have any wiring diagrams related to this setup, but it is an easy installation process if you just follow the above method.
