What do you think the best tapping source would be? This weekend I am installing some ground aimed perimeter lighting on the sides of my rack and was curious if this will be doable with 8 x 18W lights (the power ratings are probably exaggerated as these are not name brand lights).

Also is there info out there to show what each lighting source on our trucks is rated for?

I ended up using the cargo light for the box. Green with white stripe, accessed through the drivers side area, under the sill plastic. Works pretty good. wires are bundled together under the black tape wrap, easy to get to and separate to tap

curious if you are you going to use that white/green wire to trigger a relay to handle the load from the lights?
