LED Ground effects kit for your car

Step 4 Install the switch

Take either your positive wire or your ground, and wire it to one of the switch terminals. I used the positive just out of force of habit. Then, add about 6" of double-stranded wire to this (red to the switch and black to the other black wire). This will later connect to the controller circuit.

I'm a complete novice at circuits, so I have a few questions that may sound pretty ridiculous:
Can I safely run four 48cm led lightstrips through this circuit? And can I use this switch: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062493 ?
And my car won't explode if I turn on my cigarette lighter or anything?

You could definitely run four 48cm lightstrips. The switch works just fine, actually I considered that one myself :-P. And no, your car shouldn't explode.

Cool. Thanks. I'll post a link to pics if I manage to make it work.

You should use the positive connected to the switch 99.9% of the time anyways, otherwise you still have current flowing through the wires into your device, whereas if it's going through the switch it stops at the switch, and can't be an electrical problem later on (read hazard).

I agree...
