Using license plate wiring for bed lights?

[Noel Willhite]

Does anyone know if these lights would would with bed lights if tapped? They seem to function the same as cargo lights (on when unlock, when open door)
Just a thought for an easy
Solution to use as cargo lights ,
They may even turn on with the cabin switch?

I tapped them for my custom rear marker lamps...

That looks great !
Is there a fuse that would work if i ran a wire directly to it to function as the cargo light would?
I’m wondering if I’m over thinking it, and running to a fuse box would keep me from splicing anything and get the same result?

As long as you're not tapping a toaster up to them, low draw LEDs should be harmless...although I don't what you're planning

You do know that your bed lights would not turn on unless your marker is turned on right? The license lamps are switched to the marker lamps...

Forgive me i don’t know what you mean by marker
I’m quite new at any electrical mods
Trying to find an in-cabin solution for switching on bed lights installed
Was hoping the plate lights would sync
Looks like I’ll be running them through the cabin
I’m hoping a fuse box solution could prevent me from splicing factory wires and ripping up floor panels to get to the cargo light wire

The marker lamps is the first set of lights that come on when you rotate your headlamp switch...they're the front amber bulbs inside your headlamp and the red lights at the rear...like the photo I showed in my first reply...
