All you have to do is go to the store and get some wire and extend the wiring. I would probably use 12 or 14 guage.

If you don't already have a switch that you will be using, all you have to buy is a toggle switch, an inline fuse holder, and more wiring.
Connect one of the leads on the toggle to the inline fuse holder, and then to the battery (or distribution block). Connect the other lead to the lights.

Id put em on a "constant HOT" lead, run that wire to the toggle then run another wire to a inline or a fuseable link, THEN wire all the positive wires from the lights together and the same for the grounds run the ground to a barespot on the frame, secure the ground then put rustproofing over it. as for the hots just wire them together so you have 1 hot lead going to the switch.

Id get some 14g red and 14g black wire, some butt connectors,electical tape and bic lighter, a heavy duty 30a toggle switch and a idiot light. If you PM me I can get you a list of what you need, Infact ill check my garage for these things.. Ive rewired 3 cars in the past 4 years im sure I got some supplies collecting dust that ill send to you for the cost of shipping.

most offroad light companies sell a wiring harness you can buy for the lights. Gives you a branded switch for the cabin, a heavy duty relay, and plenty of wire to get from battery to lights. Any wiring harness will work though, since its essentially a relay, switch, fuse, and wiring like detroitmuscle was saying, but if you want pre-cut lengths, and fancy switchs and what not, just buy one. theyre like 20-40 bucks depending on the quality of the light theyre for
