[QUOTE="russ010, post: 128894, member: 677"] are you referring to navigation lights? Before getting the removable style nav lights, the bow had a permanent light. I just wired it back to the battery, but never hooked it up until I needed it. I didn't have a switch for it. BUT - if you want to do this, all you have to do is run the negative to the battery, then run the positive wire to the switch, then run another wire from the switch to the battery. The switch is nothing but a link for power from the battery to the light. I have mine set up now as a plug in style. I have the base permanently wired to the battery. Then all I have to do is put the pole into the light socket and it comes on - no switches to mess with. Does that make sense? [/QUOTE]
