The lights I used are these fairly inexpensive vehicle spotlights from Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01L3J52WW
The contacts are made from brass shim stock trimmed with scissors and bent with a pair of pliers into the shape you can see on the last photograph.
On that photograph you can also see which switch I've used. I bought it at a local electronics supply store. In the last photograph at the top you can see the switch and the bag it came in.
I've use a 5/16" bolt for the main shaft as that was what was available locally. No reason you couldn't use an 8mm bolt instead… you might have to file the hex slightly to get it to fit in the recesses.
Wiring itself is quite explanatory. That said if you need help let me know and I'll make a diagram.
The thread for the PG7 wire gland I've drawn to be tight enough that a counter nut isn't needed
4x M3 x 20 flat head screws
4x Nylock M3 nuts
1x Mini spst switch
1x 5/16" x 3 ½" bolt and nut
1x 10mm x 100mm piece of 0.3mm thick brass shim stock (.012" thick)
1x PG7 Wire gland
