    You can splice the wires into one switch, I don't know if that will effect thier lifespan or not, but you can. I've had a lot of luck with CCFL lighting, and I never turn them off, but if you need a switch and need to have them all wired into one switch then all you can do is splice them all together. You could also use a fan/light bus to control all of them independently. Just my opinion.

    ok. so basically splitting all the cables so all the red are twisted together, all the black twisted together.. etc etc then just connecting those seperate wires to the switch (like connecting 1 normal light to it just twisting all the others to the single wires to add multiple to the switch)

    Is that basically it? I think i am starting to get what you guys mean.

    Yes.. but only the thinner wires coming out of the molex connector. Not all four.. when you get your light kits you'll see what I mean.. there will be two thin wires coming out of the molex connector connected to your light kits. Splice the red wires together and he black wires together and plug them into the switch and you should be good to go.

    I'm surprised that no one had mentioned Paul's (Crimson Sky's) Book yet lol....i just got mine from Sky last week, and it has just about everything that you could ever want to know about this stuff, especially about wiring, cable management, and cooling. if you really want to see exactly how each step is done picture by picture, then you should definitely check it out. (why do i feel like i should be earning commission or something? LOL :p ) but seriously just trying to let you know about one of the best resources out there :p
    where are you?

    fact: different = abnormal
    observation: everyone is different, therefore everyone is abnormal
    conclusion: there is no normal, express yourself
