Default question about led

I wait to connect 14 leds to my 3rd channel and I want to make sure I get a few questions answered before I blow something. I figured I'd needed to go with parallel right? But don't I need to have the leds to have the same specs? My rear will be 6v 5mm reds(2) and my fronts will be 6v 5mm blue(4) and 6v 3mm orange(8). Not sure if I needed to list any other specs. Can I wire 3mm and 5mm together in a parallel?

If not, then can I wire 3 different sets of parallel then connect all the positives and negatives and plug it into my 3rd channel?

What I have planned is 4 headlamps and 2 rear lights and then the 8 3mm will be angel eyes(for a drifter). Is there an easy way to wire this all up? I can even cut down on the front lights if needed. Thanks guys!

that will make your rx brown out when you start to use it

the best thing to do is used a resistor on the - line and run it inline of your batter pack power lines with a switch

but yes you can wire them in parallel
