I wouldn't be surprised if the relay drew more power than the led lights.

If it did, the wrong relay was selected.
You don't need a relay to protect that switch, it will be fine running the lights directly. The relay is to protect your ignition switch so you don't melt it or start blowing fuses (if you are still pulling power from your ignition switch).Here is the switch I'm using. It's a 20amp switch.
Amazon.com: E Support Car Blue LED Bar Light Toggle Switch: Automotive
The reason I've asked these question in the first place, I can't clearly understand how many amps these lights draw.
Adding a relay actually could man the install cleaner, wires are going to route right past the battery. So relay needed are not, fairly easy to do. But it adds cost.
Anyone clarify the amps these things will draw?
These lights not like days of old. They really don't draw many amps.
BUT I don't see in any of the documentation at Amazon exactly what they do draw. No further documentation came with the lights.
