So i bought 4 red neon lights at Canadian tire the other day and i would like to wire them in my a car on a single switch, i know nothing about switches and how to get power to the switch, would i just run a wire from the positive terminal on the battery to the switch and just find a ground somewhere? looking for the best possible way.

I would run a 12ga wire from the battery (fused) to a relay and connect it to the 87 pin. Connect an ignition power wire to the 86 pin. Then connect all of the positive wires of the lights to the 30 pin on the relay. Ground the lights. Mount your switch and ground one pole of the switch. Connect the other pole of the switch to the 85 pin of the relay.

This way, the lights won't accidentally get left on when you turn the car off.
