Default Switch for washer LEDs

I'm installing orange Street Glow underbody neons this weekend, the one with the built in transformers, plus matching LED washer nozzles. Can I hook them both up to the same switch? Or will this hurt the LEDs in the washer nozzles.

If I put the LEDs on a seperate switch, does it have to be a heavy duty switch, or just a small 3 amp switch.

If you wire the LEDs on there own you can use kust about any weitch there is. They pull so little power that a tiny switch could run them. IT is somthing like one tenth of a regular bulb of the same size.

But it can also be put on the same switch. As both run on 12 volts and the LED add so little amps to the mix that the switch that comes with the neons will not even notice you have aded the LEDs . so the choice is yours!!

Thanks Mark1 and Goldmember.

I've decided to put the Washer Neons on a seperate switch that matches the style of the one for my Ahoogha horn on the center console.

Actually I'm surprised there's not more switches there, Goldmember!
