2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Battery sources

Hey Guys/Gals;



I want to install a set of after market fog/driving lights on my truck. The question I have is; where does one find the battery connections? The way I want these to work is during the day the lights stay on while the truck is running - aka daylight ruinning lights. I would prefer switched battery sources to feed the relay and the lights themselves. . I have scoped out the factory fog light circuit but that wire gauge is small - 20ga. The lights have a 16ga battery feed to the relay with a 10A inline fuse. It looks like the PDB is all connectorized so its a bit of a streach to try tapping into that. . Anyone have suggestions - other than running the feed directly from the batteries?

The way I did it was to run a heavy wire from the main fuse under the PDC cover to a fused distribution block. I now have 6 fused power sources. All accessories are switched by relays.
