anything... some look cool, some are simple some light up, some are big... anything under 10 amps is safe on just about any switch. visit your local radio shack for a wide selection and inflated prices

Switches depend on how many neons you're putting on it. Switches have an amp rating to them - they can only handle so many amps. But if you're just installing a few neons, that's nothing.

More cathodes then you can fit in your car... they draw VERY LOW amperage.. you could put 100 on a single switch and be ok...
