need help wiring dual fans to toggle switches

Alright i have been searching for the last hour now, and cant find an answer to my question. my car came with a single fan, wich eventually burned out. what i want to do is install my new dual fans completely manual. i dont want the car to even try to turn them on. I want to wire them so i have 2 toggle switches both lighted and you have to turn on the first one, for the second to work, however i am nowhere an electrical engineer, acually i usually do not do any electrical work. i was hoping that someone can give me a link, show me a diagram, anything. thanks

What you need are 2 switches and 2 relays.
each switch controls one relay and each relay supplies power to each fan.

DO NOT HOOK THE FANS DIRECTLY TO A SWITCH!! You can cause a fire when the wires heat up and melt or the switches melt.
