    I'm wiring my lights that I put on my bull bar and I've got a few questions.

    1) How/where do I put the switch in? It won't fit in one of those blank ones

    2) how did y'all get the wires into the can to go to the switch?

    3) and how did you connect the white wire to power?

    IMO, I am a professional electrician and if you have to ask these questions, you shouldn't be wiring anything. But I don't like to come and piss in someone's thread so here goes,

    1: You might have to trim the holes to make the switch fit.
    2: There is several ways, but there is a rubber grommet behind the e-brake to the firewall.
    3: cmon man..

    I know there's a grommet but I don't know how to get it in and I know I have to connect it to the battery but there's no way to connect it in the kit!

    For the switches yes your gonna have to trim. I used a dremel for mine.

    As far as wiring I'd assuming you'd use connectors

    Put a ring connector on it and connected to the red side of the battery.

    Use a coat hanger to punch thru the grommet.
