Hey I wanted to tap into my parking lights to energize 2 coils in a relay and then four 20ma indicator l.e.d.'s for the two switches ( one in the switch and one below it).     Will my parking light tap be sufficiant to power 2 relays and 4 l.e.d.'s???

Why are you using 12v, and ground for those relays for power?

What do you mean?     It's a 12V automotive application.   I just wanted to tap into my parking light feed to energize some relays and l.e.d.'s.   Accually its 3 relays and 3 l.e.d.'s.     Two relays to turn on some off-road lights and 3 indicator l.e.d.'s  near the switch.   The other relay is to switch a ground for something else that isn't relevant but I want it controlled by the turning on of the parking lights.
