Default Wireless Lights w/ Wired Switch?

I have the Warn driving lights with the wireless control switch. Everything works great as is but is it possible to wire an aftermarket rocker switch to turn the lights on/off? I thought it'd be helpful to have a hard-wired switch as a backup. I'm not too good with electrical so I'm not even sure if this is possible but any ideas?

Put the usuall www in front of the above address and it will show you all kinds of relay wiring diagrams. Just pick one and you will be able to install a relay to control the lights.

Sure. Just pick up another relay. And wire it parallel to the wireless relay. Then run a new switch for your new relay.
