Do these lights require a special switch or relay to turn them on/off?

Dear Ron, Thanks for your inquiry. The lights must work with wire harness/switch and you can check the wire harness from http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Wiring-Harness-Switch-Driving/dp/B00DKWJ1RS/ref=sr_1_1?m=AA3DW73OVKOAR&s=merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1395024413&sr=1-1&keywords=B00DKWJ1RS. Hope this can help.

Yes the braket is all ready attached to the lights they come on the lights they are great lights no switch but u shouldn't need a switch

They come with a tiny on/off switch. I did not use it because I had a wall switch.

They do NOT come with a relay. You can order the wiring kit.. For my application, I split up lights and put 2 each on an ATV & UTV without using any relay.. they are working fine.

unless you're going to hardwire them into your existing backup lights you're going to need a separate switch and relay

Yes there is an on/off switch on the top of them. They don't have to be on your finger to work and they light up very bight.

No they don't. You either have to put one or I just installed a switch to turn it on when I need it.

Yes they do, there is a button on the control panel to turn them on or off.

You'll need to purchase a wiring harness if you want them on a toggle switch. I spliced them into my reverse lights so I didn't use a wiring harness

No, no turn on or off - you just plug them in and they heat up, unplug to shut off.

no fuses or relays, but they pull very little power...any standard auto switch can handle them. I don't recall any instructions, but the 2 wires were color coded red (+ voltage) and black (-voltage or car/truck chassis) that must be followed for most all LED lights...other than that it's as simple as any other 12 volt DC light. bright white light, been outside in all weather since I got them, still work great. Lamp is strongly built, the bracket is simple bent and plated steel, but effective.I think 90 + % of lamps of this type as well as most LEDs all come from China, but they are made well. I seem to remember they ship from China, so it's not super fast delivery...seems I remember 3 ish weeks no fuses or relays, but they pull very little power...any standard auto switch can handle them.

No relay is required, led is low draw. Mine works great, had 1 issue, had to resolder the positive wire to the board . But works great, lots of light.

Yes. Bypass the flasher/control module and wire them directly to a continuous 12 volt source with a recommended switch so you can turn it on and off. Caution: They get extremely hot in summer months for this type application. Just be careful

The unit does not have an on/off switch. I used two of these connected in parallelto replace my RV porch light.

The lights will turn on and off automatically by themselves. The only way you could turn them off manualy would be to cut the power to them. So you would need them on a switch of some kind. If they were on a switch, to turn them on manually you would need, first of all darkness and to have them turned off -- no power to them. At that point -- darkness and no power -- if you turned the power to them on, the lights should light up. If you did not interrupt the power supply before daylight, they should turn off automatically. I hope I answered your question. There is no off/on switch on the lights themselves -- it is automatic operation. The lights will turn on and off automatically by themselves.

No, they must be connected to a switch. The switch could be automatic in the sense of on at dark and off at light. But most of the time these work best to augment floor or stair steps light.

No, it does not. All you need to wire these is one inline fuse, a 20 amp toggle, and some wire. Very simple. Other lights require relays, as they draw so many amps. I wired it with the aforementioned setup, as well as a 10" and 20" light bar and they work great. Very bright with little amp draw.
