If it's only led, it shouldn't draw much power, so you shouldn't need a relay in place.
Just a straight forward circuit.
+12v, fuse, switch, led, earth
I would take the power straight from the battery (far easier)

You could wire it into the side lights, but they do look s**t, along with washer LED's
