What 20Watt switch?

Switches ar enormally rated in Amps and volts.

ie. 20 Amps / 240VAC.

How long are the neons? Where are they? Floor well/Under Car?

More info required please [img]/smile.gif[/img]

I added a switch to kill the amp and the interior neons in the footwells just wired them to the earth for the head unit and the remote live and the ignition live, that way the amp gets killed (rem live) and theres enough power to drive the neons (ignition live) then if you ever get pulled over by the fuzz one switch flick and you can be a polite driver, yes sir no sir etc.
