This is for an 01 Qx4

So Im wiring 2 small leds to light up the foot well areas/ speakers, but I only want them to turn on when I have the lights on, so they light up with all my other dash lights and what not.

Does anyone know what fuse would get power only when the lights are turned on thats in the fuse box in the cabin?

I looked at the list and none of them rung a bell off hand to be on only then.

I also dont have my voltmeter to do any testing.

Thanks for any help

The fuses will be before the switch. You need to pick up power from one ofthe other lights.

Just wire it straight from a corner light.
