Adding a switich to Cold Cathode lights

Hey -

I am wanting to add some cold cathode lights to my pc case. I would like to have them rigged to a switich on the front of my case so I could turn them on and off so they wouldnt have to be on at all times.

The wiring cannot be to hard, but does anyone have any reference material on how to hook the lights up to a switich and then to the PSU wiring?

Thanks

Actually, it's all soldering or crimping, then mounting the switch. Nothing really technical about it. Just put the switch in series with the power wire and you're set.
 
Take the +V (usually red) wire and snip it.
Strip each end and connect them to the poles of a SPST switch (panel mount mini toggle look and work best)
Do not worry about orientation, switches are not polarized
