    image.jpg tried searching for my answer with no luck, so...

    Just bought some of the flush mount LED lights to mount in rear bumper, and a harness off Amazon. The toggle switch has two leds in it, one that lights up all the time and the other when the lights are on. My question is, will this drain the battery if the one led is always on? Or am I missing something and it should turn off when truck is off? I'll be wiring the harness to the battery.

    What hasn't been modified?
    Depends on where you wire that light to, it looks like there is a relay so if the power that feeds the switch comes from a source that is switched to the ignition then it will go off. But if it feeds from the batter it will always be on and left for extend periods of time could drain. But just that would prob have to be weeks

    Wire the switch illumination to your AC control/dash lights. Then they will turn on with your other dash lights.
