    I just installed a air compressor and I'm installing the dash switch. I need to T-tap the Ignition wire and the Dash Illumination wire.

    Can anyone point out which wire those are? I have a 2013

    I would think that everyone putting aftermarket lights that use illuminated switches would also be using these wires?
    Thanks

    Just a few LEDs...
    The Green wire with the Red stripe on this plug has +12v whenever the ignition is on. the solid Green wires have +12V whenever the parking lights are on. I have not had a need to find the dash illumination wire ....yet. I hope this helps you out.

    Oh yeah...the plug with the 3 wires below that plug also has constant +12V(Light Blue), Accessory +12v(White/Blue Stripe), and Ignition +12v(Dark Blue) wires.

    Just a suggestion. Get yourself a cheap multi-meter and do your own investigating into what wires do what. Its more fun that way :D
