I did that with my underbody kit. Or you can buy a switch from like radio shack. Take the switch panel out. Drill a hole through it and put the switch like that. Wiring it up is simple
Pos=

+ Battery - Switch - Lights

Ground =

Lights - Chassis (theres a great bolt behind each kick panel you can use)

Figure 7 bucks per kit. Plus wire, Plus switches, plus any tools you would need(crimp tools etc). Figure about 50 bucks.
I'd put a fuse in between the battery and switch just to be safe from fires ya kno...

I'm not sure. You can't extent the wires from the transformer to the cathodes. I believe its 1 foot each way. So technically you could spread them appart by 2 feet. If that works for you and you can do it. you can. I didn't bother. I just did two tubes in each foot well.

Oh Yea good catch. What Dam said. Always fuse any electric work you do.

BTW. Looking at that kit. it looks exactly like the Oznium kit. Exactly.

Here's mine...it's a crappy photo because it was done with a camera phone, but you get the idea. That was taken during the day, they are actually pretty bright at night. The color is called Hot Lava.

this is using a thousand billion cathodes from oznium. the pictures about a year old and ive pretty much gutted the car because im trying to sell it, so no more ccfl/leds, but here ya go. some of the pictures were during the install, so the cars messy and you can still see a bunch of wires.

i used clear zip ties on both ends, then tucked in the fat end in between the carpet and the center console to hold it up...real stealth if done right
