most of the time you need to connect it to the molex connectors (the white big plugs), but I don't know how yours needs to be connected.

You will probably have to buy an adapter to connect the rocker switch to your power supply. Then run the lights into the rocker switch from there. I'm no electrician, but you will usually have your positive, negative, and ground in most wiring. Make sure they are all lined up correctly and you shouldn't have a problem.

I am guessing that you already have the lights wired up to a molex connector, if that is the case which I am hoping it is, the lights should be 12v and the 12v wire is the yellow wire, all ya need to do is cut the yellow wire going to the lights, connect one end of the yellow wire you just cut to one terminal of the rocker switch then do the same with the other end of the yellow wire and connect it to the other terminal of the rocker switch. All the switch does is break current on the hot side of the wiring, so you only need the hot wire using the switch, if the lights are 5v then you need to use the red wire in the molex connector. The rocker switch will kinda look like this when done....
