use the ignition. under the dash drivers side there is a fuse box. above the fuse box you will see two outlets, the one on the right is igition, the one on the left is battery. Take a 12-14 gauge wire, connect to a spade type connector and stick it in the outlet and you are done.

Just some advice from your friendly neighborhood post *****!!

Ok. That right side is used by the boost controller. But I unplugged it. Is there any way to run both? Probably not right? Also, I have ordered the c-west light kit, and I another 12 v key on to hook up the outside fog lights. Is there anything under the hood I could use and then run either a relay or fuse?

You can fuse tap it into one of the other fuses, like say the REAR WIPER fuse. I'm not an electronics expert though, so you may want to look at the downside to doing that. It did work fine for me when I used the rear wiper fuse though, but I shose to use the right ignition slot instead.

just tap that wire (use a splitter and attach your new wire to that one.

So I guess both wires on that one side of the fuse panel won't blow out a fuse? The controller and fog lights aren't enough current draw? Do you know this for sure ZeroBanger or are you guessing.

do what you want. You should use a relay anyway, then current draw is not an issue, DUH

That's pretty good Zerobanger...the reason anyone is on here posting messages is for info because they don't know and are looking for answers. Geez, I know that must have been really tough for you to come on here and call me dumb as I'm looking for help. I see you're a really good help here.
