Just take a Stanley to them... they'll most likely break or split any way so you won't be able to use them again!

You connect them in the same manner as the Autocom system!

You shouldn't need to use a relay as both the grips & the lights are the same voltage.
Simply attach the -ve cable to the battery & the +ve to a switched feed then as soon as the ignition is turned on, the grips will be 'live' and you cannot leave them on!
