I hope this is the right section, as I am new to this forum. I aplogize as I am a beginner I have a 94 Chevy Suburban 2500, 6.6 Disiel.
I am putting in these lights, and dont under stand how to connect them to the positive current. Do I wire them into the fusebox(and how) or do i connect them to the battery and put a fuse on the wire(and how). Also I would like to wire a rocker switch on my dashboard, can I put a switch on the wire from the battery to the flasher/switch(that comes with the kit), and just leave the flasher/switch on all the time?
Thanks in advance!

Go from the postive post of the battery through a fuse (7.5-10amp) to the rocker switch you want to use. The go from the rocker switch to the power wire of the flasher box. Hook negative wire to ground and you should be good to go.
