need to wire 5 lights on 1 switch. help

I just got 5 di(k cepek lasers the other day. Got them for 40 bucks, all 5 work. The guy that sold them to me is a clown and had all 5 spliced on one 14 gauge wire and taped together. I took them all apart cleaned them up cut all the bad wire off. So now have 5 lights on a bar with nothing but positives and negative hanging off them. What do I do to wire the 5 of them on one switch without making a wire bonfire? I imagine a relay of some sort is going to be neccessary. Thoughts?

Here you go:



I just realized I forgot to draw the ground. You can tie the ground wires in series with some thick (I'd use 8ga) wire and ground to something big (front 15mm bolt on the bumper/frame)
