You could probably hook them up to a aftermarket relay and run a toggle switch into the cab that would give you direct power with out over loading the toggle, just a suggestion

hook them up to a relay after the switch and it will boost the output

Just find a good 12v switch that will handle the amp load and you should be fine, I know i have gotten some thru radioshack that have worked for me in the past wiring up cooling fans on other trucks.

radioshack should have everything you need to get it right
