What wire controls the amber side marker lights if I wanted to tap into those for a relay to add more amber grille lights. Or would it be better to tap into DRL wire? Anyone know color of that?
During the install, I too was hunting for a good circuit to tap. Manual does not plainly layout the front lamps and their respective fuses/wiring location. I used the trailer tow/park lamp block in the under-the-hood exterior fuse block, which made it a simple tap and play hookup. Works when parking lights are on, even lights up during remote start (cool!!!🤙🏽). No turn tho, just marker lights.

Yes sir!

I didn't want to tap into factory wiring for the LED turn signals and I already had the CURT for my tailgate light bar.

I have 3 relays installed for my grille guard LEDs, a master, one for my DRL and one that kicks on my off road lights when I hit my high beams.

The thing with relays is they retain an electrical charge, so using a relay for a turn signal might end up with a turn signal LED continuing to light after the factory signal disengages.
I'm sure there is a creative way around that though!
Hi, how did you run the wires from the back to the front for the tune signal wiring? did you run them on the outside ? Also what wires in CURT did you tap into ?
