This, because if you know nothing of electricity you're going to be up shits creek without a paddle, or boat. I've been there before.... and it's not fun.

Shut the fuck up, acolyte.

If you're unsure, you can make new wires, all you need is a permanent live and a switched live. Take them from the appropriate switches or off the fuse box.

You should get a meter to test your connections.

They are not much money.

thanks guys (and girls?) very much appreciated. i'll let you know if i succeed.

Shut the fuck up, acolyte.

your the first one to say that to me.
