halogen headlight upgrade

anyone ever try one of those 'ez' halogen headlight wiring upgrade kits on their 60-66 from LMC truck? (part# 36-3580)

I bought one, cause in the description it says with this kit, you will remove the current draw/load off the original headlight switch, and have the lights pull power directly from the battery... and you get to use newer halogen headlights... I thought, sweet! I'm in!

so the part gets here, and it's in this package with more Taiwan language letters than I have ever seen.. In fact, there's more Tai letters than there are english...
which is usually no big deal, except for the extremely poor translation skills. for example: " CAUTION: for safety sake don-t install this wire harness on or aboue wherever as engine or somewhere will effect angine working "

uh...
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN???

the wiring diagram which should be in a universal language seems straight forward enough, however according to my interpretation of the diagram, the wiring has the lights powered directly from the battery, with NO SWITCH! which would mean they would be on all the time, once the power cables are connected, and grounds grounded...

I sent an email to LMC truck customer service, a few days ago, and have not recieved a reply back...

SO, I was hoping one of you folks had given this a go, and had some ideas...
