headlight switch question

[Bartlett]

I just finished installing Bores stainless bumper guides as well as auxilliary led parking lamps in the front lower valance on my 04. 5 and would like to wire them off of the park lamp circuit if possible. Are there any unused terminals on the back side of the light switch ? I do not want to splice any factory wires and thought this a possibility. Any other suggestions???

The light switch does not turn the lamps on the old way by switch 12volt to the terminals but instead send a much lower voltage signal to the control computer in the engine compartment (box with fuses and relays) and it turns the lamp(s) on.

Well that is good info not to go to the switch. Other than running a seperate toggle switch i guess i would have to splice directly into the park lamp circuit? Thanks for the info.

Here is the Dodge site that has the wiring diagrams that you will most likely need. The have several different models and years that can be downloaded.

Be carefull cutting into the lighting circuits. The lamp out indicators is very tricky!
