    Morinin' all,
    Looking for some solid wiring guru advice on which mini fuse to tap on my 3rd Gen OR so that my CH4X4 switch only lights up (wired to Cali Raised LED) when I turn the lights on...and possibly dims along with the other OEM switches to left of steering??? I saw in a post somewhere that the tailight fuse might be the best option???

    I used the tail light fuse for my heated seat switches but, it does not dim.

    I tapped into the left high beam switch in the engine-bay fuse box. That way the bar is either always off or just on when the high beams are on.

    As far as switch dimming, I'm tapped into the cargo light switch (green and tan) but that's a ways from your switch.

    Not me...but I totally leveraged from this same video when installing! Maybe the only one w/ real specifics per Mictuning switch w/ Cali Raised light bar wiring details?
