Light Switch Wire Tap (multiple switches)

Hey guys,

I'm looking to wire in a few lights to OEM style switches, similar to below.



I'd also like to get them setup so that the switches are illuminated when I turn my lights on. My plan is to tap into the bed light switch power wire (suggested in Post #8 in the following thread):

My question is, is it an issue to tap the three switches into the single bed light wire?

Cheers

 

I put two switches together and used posi-taps on the brown and green wires of the cargo switch;


They illuminate with the dash lights and dim with them as well.

 

Another option is to use an Add-A-Fuse. Typically, this would be added to the accessory slot in the under dash fuse box.

Right on, thanks for the note and visual

 

Interesting, never thought of that, thank you

 

Using an add-a-fuse as a source for the illumination circuit won't dim the switch with the dash lights. The switch illumination would be on full all of the time. You would need a ground for the other side of the circuit as well.
