Very simple, one wire to earth, and one wire to a switch then positive supply. As the company makes them up. I would imagine they have their own instructions with the product.
As the lurb says no relay needed, leds have very very low currnt rating, so any switch would work

for the extra you would pay, your getting a better unit which will do more flashy buisness.

Yes the ebay ones are shite, and that price is unreal. As an experiment I got TWO PACKS of the same type but in red (so 4 lights in total) for a fiver

Aye they look better, canne make out if the price is each or per pair? Also watch out, some of the stuff on EVS and the like doesn't include flash units etc.

I'm sticking a whole load of new lighting on me van, was hoping to have it on for the glasgow meet but that timescale looks unrealistic now!

I'm looking at kits from EVS which have 2 light heads, wiring and control units. I'm hopefuly going to buy one and i aim to have it in by the meet.
