Sorry, my bad I should have said. They are the Triumph heated grips.
I have seen those switches in the past and I planned on getting one of
those.

So I just 'won' some heated grips on flea-bay but they don't come with
a switch or any instructions to mount them. Does anybody know of
anywhere I could get the instructions, are they available online
anywhere perhaps ? I think all I need to do is get a switch and use
the socket that I know is behind the fairing right ? I assume that
socket is supplied via a relay ?
What brand are they?
I had installed the Kimpex heaters on my previous bike ('99 Sprint ST) and
sourced a CarlingSwitch from the Electrical Connection site:

They also have a grip kit:

IIRC I found it hard to find the right connector to use the one under the
cockpit, so had to cut it off and just use some bullet connectors. I don't
know if it was switched or not, seems to me that it was always hot?
Don't forget to wrap your left bar with some tape or big heat shring tube to
give it a little insulation, else alot of the heat from the left one sinks
into the metal instead of your hand.
