LED Windshield Washers
I stumbled onto these online and decided to go ahead and purchase a set. I have the LED washers mounted on the truck and connected to the hoses but need to find the best place to wire these to on my 02 Quad Cab. This particular set of LED's that I bought has a mountable switch to install in the cab as well. Plenty of wire so length shouldn't be a problem. Anyone with any ideas? Splice, wire to fuse, etc..??
Anyway..here's a link to the LED's, I did have to "modify" a little of the plastic to make these ports fit properly. Not even noticeable as the ports mount on top of the plastic anyway.

Any help is appreciated!

RE: LED Windshield Washers
Just to confirm any questions, the link says these are for a Miata but they do fit on the Ram, with a little modification of the plastic that the nozzles mount on. Not a big deal at all. The washers install on top of the modified plastic and it's not visible.

Personally I think those are silly, and so are you for buying into them. Rice your truck out some more.
I know I might come off as an ******* for typing that, but it's just my opinion. Don't get bent out of shape.

some guys like lowered trucks with big stereos.....some guys like 20" lifts with lockers....to each his own. no need to rag on fellow members.
anyways, i helped my brother install a set of these on his mitzu eclipse. you can use the switch to toggle them off and on using a direct wire to a keyed power source. but we wired into the turn signals/marker lights. it was pretty sweet, when he turned on the headlites, the little lites lit up. then you hit the blinkers, and they would flash too. nice thing about this setup is they are only on when the headlites/marker lights are on (you don't have to worry about forgeting them and draining your battery)
a word of warning though.....CHECK LOCAL LAWS!!! he got pulled over a couple of times for having them. if you wire up the switch you can go "stealth" with them when five-O comes by.

Rice out your truck some more? What the hell are you talking about? Some more? You've got some "ricey" looking mods on your rig as well. Kind of like the pot calling the kettle black, I guess. Thanks for the opinion, but unfortunately, that's not what I started this post for. If anyone has any valid information, it's appreciated.
Just looking for the best place to wire these to without compromising or splicing the existing circuits.
