you will need permant or ignition live (fused before switch, within 6inch of connection) on a switch inside car, wire run fro this to light (usually red wire) then link from first to second. earth second wire (usually black) from each to body work of car.

to work out the fuse you need: wattage of bulb % (divide) by 12 (voltage) X2 (cause you have 2 lights) =

fuse size (round to nearet figure 1,2,3,5,7.5,10,15,20,25,30,40)

or just cut your losses and take it to an auto electrian to put them in.
