Default Anyone know how to change LED switches?

I have an LED light bar on the way and it comes with a pre-made wiring harness that looks pretty easy to install. The only downer is that switch is not what Id want to install, Id like to use a rocker off OTRATTW. Has anyone done a switch like this before/is it even possible?

LED bar I purchased.

The switch is not likely to be hard-wired so simply disconnect the terminals and install on any switch you like. If by chance it is hard-wired or if the terminals don't match your switch, cut the wire and crimp on the terminals required for your switch.

Pretty basic stuff.

No offense but this is pretty basic stuff. The best way to learn is search and read, then get out in the garage and get hands on experience.
