Default Installing cube lights help

So I am looking at getting the raxiom 3 inch 8 led cube lights. My question is the wiring harnesses I have been looking at seem to be for only 1 light or 2 lights on storage switches. Is there a harness I can connect both lights to and that will hook up to a single 2 position rocker switch?

So can I just get a wiring harness like this.

Wire both the positives from the lights to the positive on the harness and both grounds to the ground on the harness and then cut the switch off and wire it to the rocker switch?

I don't have the raxiom lights but I'd confirm if they come with a harness before you buy one. The other thing to check is to see what the ends look like. They 'should' be the Deutsch connections, they're pretty standard where you may see water. I've included a link below that may be better suited- I have no experience with the link below, it's just an idea (and it looks to have a 3 position rocker if that floats your boat).

Depending on how much amperage these lights draw, you may want to look into running a relay in-line. This will pull power directly off of the battery to the lights when the relay is energized instead of running it through your switch. A lot of switches aren't rated for high amperage circuits. Most aftermarket lights come with a harness that includes relays, fuses, and switches.
