I picked the switches up at either Autozone or Advance Auto, can't remember which. They are pretty cheap I want to say around $2/pc. The I just bought about 50ft of 4 wire trailer wiring. The one with 4 colors of wire that are all run together in a flat strip. I ran them from the battery back to the firewall where I mounted my relays (you can also get these cheap at your local parts store). I used the same trailer wire to run from the relays into the cab and to the switches. I got power for the switches from a wire inside the cab but I can't remember which. Any 12V+ wire will work, I used one that only came on with the ignition. I just daisy chaned the power and grounds on the switches, and then had one of the trailer wires go to each switch.
To install the switches themselves I just used a 3/4" spade drill bit to drill the hole, and a small triangular file to put a notch in it. The notch is needed for a little tab on the switch that keeps the switch from rotating in the hole.
