    Anyone know the easiest way to tap into the +12v for dash lights so that I can
    connect a new switch and have it light up when I turn on the other instrument and switch lights? This is for a 2014 Tacoma. Thank you.

    Probably at one of the dash switch connectors, Pin 1 (Green) is illumination + and Pin 2 (Green/White) is illumination -

    Some guys use a fuse tap on the tale fuse
    Mostly because it’s plug and play.

    Just make sure you install it correctly.
