Cooling fan turn on?

I was wondering what I need to turn my cooling fan on without a toggle switch. My car has an electric fan and its not wired corectly. I want to get an aftermarket set up for it like the one Jegs offers from Flex-a-lite, PN 400-31147. I just dont know what all I would need to make this happen. I dont know if that switch needs to be hooked up to a realy or something like that or not. I just want some suggestions as what to do with it. I want it to turn the fan on at about 200 or maybe even 190 because it seems to run a little better when its cooler.

Thank you that helps alot but its the same for the ones with single fans right? Just take the secondary fan circuit out.

when running a voltage like 12 volts and a current load of quite a few amps its always a good idea to use relays..
