im wiring some clearance lights into the headache rack i built. what wire do i tap into for the trucks running lights?

 

Just get a meter and back probe at conectors. What lights do you have clearance, brake light, and reverse, or just clearance? Ill see if I can look hear in a little bit which ones.

 

Clearance lights, I think it is black with a yellow stripe. Either find it behind the light switch, at the trailer plug or tail light.

My cab/and bed running or clearance lights are all seperate from the trucks dash light switch, they are run thru a switch in the cab, trailer is the same way. I can flick them on and off and not mess w/ the headlights (just like the big rigs ).

 

thanks. now i just need to get motivated to work on it

 

It is a black wire with yellow stripe. There are four of them behind the spare tire holder. 2 each side, 1 for tail light and 1 for license plate lamp. Not sure whether they are all one farther forward before the harness divides. If you want to tie in back there I am running 7 2" round grommet lights (non LED) off one wire and 2 oblong grommet lights off 2 of the remaining. I was worried about low amperage fuses on those for the license plate lamps, but doesn't seem to be a problem.
