Hello,
I just purchased an OPT 7 Aura led kit for my 2020 Big horn, after installing all the lights and running the wires tucked away i attempted to hardwire into the interior fuse box with the fuse taps provided (3 diff sizes) and was not able to find any slot they would fit in. Does anyone have experience doing this? If so what size fuse tap did you use and which slot did you use? I want the lights to turn on when the truck is on and shut off when it is off. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Don't mind the red writing. You tap into the fuse circled in yellow

I think you would have to use diodes to do that so your dome or courtesy lights wouldn't be on all the time.

Do you have pictures/video of the completed look? Can you also provide a link for what you bought? Thanks
