Hi, so I have a interior LED lighting kit for the footwells in the front and back. I am trying to figure out how to hook them up to come on when the headlights come on. I run my headlights on auto so I thought I could use an add a fuse circuit to the fog light fuse since I keep them on all the time and they only come on when the headlights do. However there does not seem to be a separate fuse for the fog lights. I really did not want to tap into any wires as I am concerned if something went wrong it might void warranty.
I suppose I could just use the supplied cigarette charger and leave the lights on all the time ( I don't want to have to cut them on and off). The 12V outlet stays on a while after car is turned off...would this be much of a drain on the battery!!

Any suggestions on how to hook them up to work with lights?
Thanks

Guess I'm just going to use an add a circuit to a switched fuse. Can't stand the cigarette charger thing. Gotta get the right size add-a-fuse first. Ordered the wrong size and local Advanced Auto didn't have any micro add a fuses.

There are several unused fuses in the box by your left knee. Read about what I did here.
