    I already have an Add a Fuse in the tail light spot for my aftermarket fog light switch. I will be adding some ditch lights in a few weeks and would like to have the switch's bottom light only turn on with the tail lights like the rest of the dash. Where else can I tap in for this? Thanks!

    Is it possible to add more than one wire into the add a fuse for the switch light?

    A thing or two...
    Just wire them all into the same add-a-fuse. The LED pulls very little current, so it isn't an issue.

    Thanks! Been thinking about this for awhile. I figured is was a non issue but pretty amateur with electrical still.

    I always splice into my ashtray light power source to run all my switches. Or the backside of my dimmer switch.
