Default Light hook up...install...

sup guys, yeah it's H-T and all, but i got this light i want to hook up on my car. I have this switch that i got from pep boys. I want to hook up the light to the switch, so i can turn the light on without the car being on.

The light has 2 wires, and the switch has 3 metal things and the first one is "supply volts"...2nd one is "ON ACC."....3rd one is "earth Ground". So can someone help me on this. O BTW the car is a 94Accord, thanks.

The ground you connect to a bare metal pary of your cars' chassis, the supply one goes to a constant 12 power source and the acc one goes to a wire that provides 12V when you switch it on.

I'm not very good when it comes to things like this, can you please like go throught it step by step, like baby steps. Example take the red wire from the light and put it in here. Something like that. lol

red wire (power wire) from the light to the on acc part of the switch... fun the ground wire of the light to the on the is ground, then run another wire from the ground on the switch to metal on the car, good place is below the shifter if you are putting the switch in that area... then the "supply volts" metal thing needs to me attacted to a constant 12v that is always hot (not the cig lighter since that only works when the car is on) i suggest the fuse box... but since i have many lights, i ran one 10 gauge wire from the battery
