    I just purchased and installed the Seven Sparta Grill Lights. After watching video and searching the forum, I am only seeing two options for tying in to the under hood fuse box. Either the 10 amp fuse next to the Fule Injector fuse ir the Daytime Running Light ( DRL) fuse. I am trying to locate the LED strip lights that are always on that outline the bottom/ side of headlights but can't seem to locate a fuse designated to them. I'm thinking that it might be the first 15 amp fuse above the L and R Headlight fuses. Anyone know? Also... somewhere in the process of disconnecting and reconnecting harnesses and experimenting with fuses I activated a check engine light on my instrument pannel. Might have been the result of following instructions for one install that confused the 10 amp fuse next to the Fuel Injector fuse. I appreciate the help. Note: it seems that the factory LED strips are not coming on independent from the headlights like they used to.
    Thanks

    The fuse you are looking for is the 10 amp DRL fuse in the engine compartment fuse box.

    Also, there is a member here that makes harnesses that will allow plug and play installation of grille lights. @daveeasa

    Here is a link to the harness I believe may help you out...

    Because that fuse is for DRL relay.
    Need to tap into the green wire after the relay , or get a harness, or select a different way to power them.
