Question about wiring

[NC-Expy]

I purchased a set of ebay strobe lights (they are pretty bright for 15 bucks!!!) and they came with a control box that I wired straight to my battery...

my question is... I also ordered a set of rocker switches to mount in my center console and I was wondering if and how I can wire the control box to one of the switches?

So basically I want to be able to switch on the strobes via the switch with the control box in between.

THERMO and alaskanexpy should be all over this one...alaskanexpy is a hwy operator and installed all sorts of lights/strobes in his trucks so he will know for sure...THERMO is the electrical expert in the forum....they'll set you straight if no one else hooks you up by then...g/l

If there is just one power wire that controls the box all you have to do is run a wire from the battery (with inline fuse) up to the switch then run a wire from the other side of the switch over to the control box.

Thanks for clarifying that, I will be doing this once I get the switches in the mail.

Just as Callee said. Granted, make sure you are using a switch that is rated for the current of the control box. You may find it easier to use a relay in this case, especially if the control box is going to pull over 10 amps. If you need me to make up a wiring diagram for you, I will. NOthing fancy. Even a person with basic wiring abilities can make this sort of circuit.
