    Hey guys, I’m going to add an LED light bar using an OEM style switch, made by Nilight.
    The switch can be wired with where part is on with the dash light and then the second lights with the bar, or it lights up only when the bar is on. I would prefer method A, where it is on with the dash lights.

    They provided nice wiring instructions, and I have a harness I plan to use which will integrate a relay and fuse. The pigtail is the green/red/red/black that came with the switch. My harness happens to have the same plug so I’m good to go there-it’s just for dual fog lights.

    My question is, where is best to tap power for the dash lights? I saw one post suggesting the Tail fuse?

    Pin #4 needs to be cut and spliced to the dash illumination negative so that the switch will dim with the dash.
