The switch gets power from a "on when key on" spot in the factory fuse panel. That wire goes to a relay under the hood. The relay then supplies 12 Volts directly from the battery to the lights.

I mounted the driving lights in a set of 71/72 blinker assemblies that had light sockets that were corroded beyond usefullness for what they were intended. I removed the bad sockets and mounted the Wal*Mart driving lights to the lensless, bulb socketless stock assemblies. If I ever find a driving light that fills the hole in the bumper better I'll be swapping them in.
