parking lights switched power wire

[sport]

I am trying to get my aux driving lights tied into the parking lights so I can turn them on only when the parking lights are one. What color is that wire, anyone know. I would rather not run the switch to a constant. thx

So you have a switch for the aux lights and you just want to have the parking light switch set up as a "master off" switch right?

I don't have the wiring diagram for your model year, but I know that he parking lights are turned on by a switched ground through a resistor of some value. The best way to do it would be to ground your aux light relay using the same wire that the park light switch uses for ground...but again, I don't have the wire diagram for your vehicle.

Alternatively, using a test light or DMM, you should be able to find a switched power (or ground maybe) directly from one of the parking lights where the wires enter the bulb socket.

That would be the easiest way, however I don't want to run another wire from the switch out to the parking light. I am tracking down where the park lamp relay is and will tap in from there. Just have to figure out exactly where and what wire to connect to.

Yeah... that's the right way to do it. I have all the info for my '02, but I doubt the wire colors are the same.

From what I can tell, the wiring is the same for all '05-'07. Based on this info, you're going to be looking for Pink/Red switched ground wire in the steering column.

Hope that helps.

ehh screw it, I just ran another wire to the side marker. Works like a charm, thanks for your help.
