You could always run power from the battery and put a switch in the cab and use the holes in the floor at the back of the cab. Seal it and bam. Done. Thats how i would do it anyway.

Like said you would be better off running a fused wiring harness off the battery or solenoid, an adding a toggle switch. I agree with either running out the back of the cab, or under the truck. You could run the wires through the fire wall for the toggle switch an mount the switch on the trim some where.

Have you had success with the B-Lights? Mine had half the LED's burn out within two months. I am awaiting a warranty replacement.
