the best way to do it is to run all the wires over to the drivers side and then put the earth wires to the ignition wire as when the ignition is off the wire is eathed, then put all the live wires through a fuse to the live wire. This way when the ignition is turned off this makes the circuit and you dont have to fart about with switches.

its simple mate. just run the 2 wires into the car and over to the drivers side, then drop down the casing under the steering wheel and you will see a thick red wire this is the live wire, then you will see a bolt this is a good earth point, then just put a fuse on the live wire befor the switch, Job Done.
