I know there are a million threads about lighting and power on here, but I am struggling to find an answer to my specific question….

I am just adding a couple of small led lights (bullet like) to the grill and would like them to come on when the car is on. Can I tap a specific fuse, or do I need to wire something more?

What fuse can I use, or can I grab power from thr DRL’s?

Thx

You’ll need to find a 12v switched fuse so that they only come on when the car is on. Buy a cheap voltage light and test each fuse with the accessory switch on. Then check it again with the car off to make sure there’s no voltage.

Thanks. I was hoping someone would know a good fuse to use so I wouldn’t have to search, or if there was a way to tap into the existing lighting?
