[QUOTE="13terrainraptr, post: 1976564, member: 46479"] Hi Guys, First time posting on a forum here, so my apologies for any mistakes. 2013 SCREW Would like your guys' help with wiring up some ditch lights. I bought some lights on Amazon for some cheap ditch lights that have an amber DRL function. I wired up the main white light to upfitter switch #4, easy peasy. Was wondering if I could wire the amber function of this light into the interior/puddle light circuit and tap power in from there. That way, they'd only light up amber when I unlock the truck or open the door, etc. I can see that circuit is wired into the fuse box in the passenger kick area inside the cab. The question is, is there a wire in the engine bay that is part of this circuit that I could steal power from? (to avoid tapping into that fuse and running a wire through the firewall and into the engine bay) I've searched the forums and can't seem to find a straight answer on this; however, I did come across some people saying that having too much of a draw on this circuit might cause an error code on the BCM. Do you guys think this could be the case if I pursued this? I don't believe the smaller amber LED on this light would draw too much at all. Amazon light for reference: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0CFQQD3KT/[/URL] Let me know your thoughts! Thanks! [/QUOTE]
