I just bought some Windshield Washer LEDs, not sure how to install these things, someone give me a hand with this, where should I mount the switch too?

you should mount the switch somewhere inside your car, on the dash or console or something. You take your old ones out, and replace them with the new ones, fairly simple. Hook the tubes back up and everything. Then you wire it to the switch and battery, ask if you need help with that too. :)

washer lights are gay not to mention illegle. but anyhoe
wire the red wire to the RED side of the battery then run the BLACK wire into the car from the little hole in your engine bay rite infront of the driver side. i suggest siliconing around the wires that lead to the actual lights. other wise the heat will dry rot them... use that advice dude.
get a switch some dont come with switches. take one wire from the switch and wire it to the ground wire wich is the BLACK wire.. now if you need to lengthen the other wire on the switch do so and run it to a grounded spot in your car. sureley you can find a ground.. just keep touching it to mettle spots in your car untill they light up hehe.. make sure the switch is on. hot wireing lights isnt the greatest thing in the world you risk blowing them out. its not a huge risk but it could happen. might want to rig a small fuse to it, mm try a 5 .. if this is way over your head i dont suggest you doing it . but this is very basic wireing. might take 20 minuets or so. aight later hope i explained to your conception :huh:

For an easy way out, you could just the the gruonds for the negative, and then for the positive, you could wire to your headlight fuse in the fuse box under the hood, that way whenever you have you headlights on, the Washer LED would come on. Its up to you!

a long time ago whaen i had washer lights i thought of that. but for the simple fact i have no constant power source that can be used at all times i didnt. so if i parked my car i could leave them on without the lights on i think there was another reason
but i forgot it..
