I wired mine straight to the battery. one of my switches has died though so it only goes down on the passenger's side.

Nice one Dizzy.

If i was you, ask about, im pretty sure theres a high risk of a surge of power going through and frying your motors?

there's a 50A fuse if that's any help. it was the old amp wiring I used when I installed 4 gauge power cables.

I think the fuse is just there in the event of a crash to stop fires. I'm sure the motors won't mind 12-14v in them. they'll just work faster ;)
