Hi. I'm installing a 3 color LED light strip under my fifth wheel and was hoping to use lighted [LED] toggle switches to energize each colour separately. But the LED's are negative switched and I can't figure out a way to get the switches to light up. Is there anything that can be done to make the switches light up

You can use a relay for each one to switch from negative to positive

Thanks for the reply.

I've never wired a relay before so could you [or someone else] explain how that is done.

Thanks in advance.

Actually I did a google search and it brought me to this site showing a diagram of how to do it.

Thanks again!!
