Does anyone know if there is a fuse under the hood for corner indicator lights?

    I am wanting to wire some lights up to turn on when I turn on wirh the corner indicator lights on the outside corners of the headlights on a 2nd gen.
    I don't want to splice into the wires, but was hoping to put a tap on a fuse under the hood. Anyone know if they have a separate fuse?

    It's not that terrible/hard to do, just a little cramped. I used a wire clothes hanger bent straight and pushed from the cabin where all the other wires go through. Once it popped through I taped the wire I was fishing from the hood side and pulled it back through

    +1. Your main decision is whether to use the fused circuit to supply power to your new lights, or to trigger relays taking power from a stronger source closer to the lights -- such as the battery terminals.

    ^well, that's interesting. So, you're saying that if you put a pigtail in 1H pin9, you can have a seperately fused tail circuit without using an add a fuse? Pretty cool. I don't need it, but still pretty cool.

    The 1H is a very odd connector to unlock but very doable...

    On 1H you also have a IGN empty slot.

    In 2011+ this slot is used...
