    So, I've installed my fang lights but haven't hooked them up yet since I want to do better than the crappy approach being suggested by the manufacturer. Not splicing into my wiring nor using the inj fuse. I've ordered connectors to be able to build a plug-n-play for the turn signal trigger but am now looking for a suitable power hook up.

    The instructions say to use a fuse duplicator and the inj fuse. First, not going to have my lights randomly coming on with the system does its checks sequence. Second, they didn't even include the wiring for the fuse. I'm looking at other options but can't find details anywhere.

    Does anyone know what the draw on the fang lights is, what the stock DRL is, and if it's possible to use the stock DRL power to run the fang lights?

    If that can't work, I am looking at other options for fuse connections to use. Under the hood there are a number of 10A fuses but I can't tell exactly what they are for or is they are powered all the time vs acc power. Any idea of what these are?

    STAB - I'm thinking is the stabilizer disconnect. Is you truck equipped with it?
    S-HORN - Security Horn
    A/F 1 & 2 - Air/Fuel Ratio Sensors

    Guessing you don't have a multimeter and/or an electrical testing probe? Should probably get them if you're messing with the electronics.

    Thanks for the helpful part of the feedback. Truck doesn't have the Stab disconnect so I hadn't thought about that.
    I do have a test meter and have wired numerous bikes and autos. Was just hoping to save time as opposed to spending it out in the sleet we are getting right now. Kinda what these forums are for, right?
