can these be wired into just a on off switch and also do they need to be grounded or is the ground threw the wireing

Yes. Use in line fuse 5amp or so and Just switch the red and hook black to ground. Best place for ground is back to negative terminal or other source dont use frame. I buy black low volt landscape cable from home depot works great.

I wired mine through the hi beam side of my headlight w/10 amp fuse and grounded to factory ground wire

its only 35 watts so it a switch should have no trouble with it, the negative can be grounded to the body of the car or bike

you can wire them as you like. I have them on a separate switch. by the way they are excellent and worth the moneyYou may want to put some silicon to the joints. I have four of them and one took some water.......

There is a way to ground it, but you must do it through a separate amp. Hope this helps!

It's simple. Comes with 2 wires exposed at the ends. Red and black. The red gets connected to the positive (power) and the black to (negative). If you wire them to a switch just add the in between the connections. There are multiple videos on YouTube how to do this. These are bright and worth the money

Yes you can wire them into any power circuit including of course - one which is switched. I did that with the several I bought. They work great and look great!

they are grounded thru the lamp mounting bolt... if not mounted to a solid metal part of the vehicle, you must run a ground wire (attached to the mounting bolt using a wire lug) to a metal part of the vehicle. Pete

I am not an electrician. I bought these for my mother to go in her kitchen. my brother installed them. They are supposed to be plugged in and that's how he did hers. I guess it's a possibility it could be hardwired if somebody knows how to do it, but I can't really say.

Yes you can, they accept bare wire nicely, just pay attention to your polarity and hand tighten them down!

You'll need to purchase a wiring harness if you want them on a toggle switch. I spliced them into my reverse lights so I didn't use a wiring harness

I am not an electrician so what I would do is Google it. Check out this site... http://www.epanorama.net/documents/groundloop/why_grounding.html

They do not have an on off switch, they only come with wire pigtails coming out of the light fixtures themselves. You will need to either wire them off an exis circuit or create a new one with a switch, an inline fuse, and 2 wires (1 positive, 1 negative)

This switch does not require a ground. It is manufacured with two wires. Hot wire in and hot wire out to the light.

The wiring should already be in place. No additional wiring required. Just boot them on and plug them in.

I bought the ones for the UK and they were grounded. It appears that the Type L ones are grounded as well.

You can. I did, but you then lose the added protection of having the unit grounded. No big deal for me. Mine works great!

yes, these are much like a standard switch which does not require a neutral. You will need to ground the switch however.

Polarized or not, they are unsafe for use. Please keep in mind that these little jewels only make a three prong device "fit" into a two prong receptacle. That little tab does nothing to provide a ground circuit should the device short out or otherwise fail. The whole reason for the third prong is to prevent an electric shock. These devices circumvent that protective element allowing the surge of current to pass through you.
