So I'm getting everything lined up to hook up all my auxiliary lighting and I've been toying with the idea of tying into some factory systems for switch control. My hid spots that are going on the bumper are going to be connected to my factory fog lighting for switch power so I have the ability to spin the ring on the wiper control arm as a quick kill switch for those... and that shouldn't be to hard to wire up.
My roof mounted floods I want to tie into the factory harness somewhere to connect with the time-out accessory power so if I have the truck off and the floods on they will shut off after approx. 20 minutes. (no worries about loosing track of time and having a dead battery)
Last is the rock lights .... I would be ok having those wired the same and timing out with the floods but I would really like them tied into the interior light system so they would light up when I unlock my doors. I found a similar wiring job explained on a Tacoma forum (if i remember correctly) but the wiring is obviously different and I don't know if i would be so lucky to be able to find the right wires in the same places.
So my main question is will I have to cut into the wiring harness to connect to these systems/switches or would I be so lucky as to be able to pull off the interior fuse panel.
This is my winter project as I don't have a garage to work in and its often snowing or too cold to be working on my truck in the driveway.
