2020 Ram Big Horn Hood LED Strip Install Advice Needed

[Perseids]

I'm going to installed a hood LED strip I got off Amazon and it has the option to include turn signals indication.
I've looked and cannot see any way to access the headlights wiring harness(es) to T-tap the turn signal wires.
I can see what I believe to be the connector on the driver's side by partially removing the fender well liner but no feasible way to disconnect the connector or access the wiring to T-tap it.
Assuming others have added similar accessory and crossed this bridge before.
I'm considering just connecting to the trailer turn signal wiring and run the length of the truck. I did a test run just running a2 conductor to back of the truck and sticking the wires in the 4-wire flat connection and it worked without any errors.
Just thought if there's an easier way than running wiring the length of the truck that'd be preferred; but I also don't want to risk breaking a hard to get to connector up front.

On my 2019 Rebel I would tap to the F09 and F10 in the EPDC, not sure if your truck is wired the same.

TY for the reply and direction!
I thought that might work. I will try tomorrow.
I didn't have a fuse to fit my fuse tap tonight so to wire the white light ckt so that the LED strip comes on when I start the truck I tied it to my F14(AC Clutch). That seems to work and I wouldn't think it a system critical circuit.
I might keep researching to see if there's a better circuit to piggyback off of.

The F9 and 10 would be for turn signals.
There is an always? key on? hot also for the 7-way, would have to look it up.
edit: Forget that, it is always hot.

F9 & F10 work just fine... until you put on the brakes or taillights. LOL *forehead slap*. The fuses are for the entire circuit regardless of function(probably poorly worded).
Looks like I'm back to piggybacking off the tow turn signals from the back as those are easier to access than the front turn signals wiring harness(es).

My oversight...

You and me both my friend. Lol

I T-tapped into the turn signal wiring for the 7-way at the back of my truck and all is good!

Well I lied, I thought it was all good until this morning when it was dark and when I put the brakes on the turn signal portion of the strip lit up. Ugh...
Now I think my next move is to T-y'all into the truck turn signal wiring at the back which should be more accessible than the front and avoid the whole trailer towing stop/tail/turn combo.
