[QUOTE="5lho, post: 12878490, member: 134994"] I know...I wasn't willing to pull pins, cut wires and relay the crap out of it to get this working. I figured there had to be a less invasive way. It was easy once I figured it out. Find a nice 30 amp blade in the fuse panel (there's a couple ones that are hot and unused) or run off the battery, fused positive to the lamp positive side with a quick tap (you should only need one as both lamps are on the same circuit). Breach that circuit and run it to the interior through the sound tube hole and switch it there with a little accessory switch carefully hidden. I put a stubby one next to the OBD2 port as there is handy screw there to mount a bit of drilled flat stock to. You can do this very neatly with a bit of cable cover and some elec tape to run it along the hood latch release cable. When you switch this on, you drive power to the power side of the lamp, which is the side of the circuit the SJB switches. Your power replaces the switched off power and the lamps stay lit. It's all the time though, as you've circumvented the factory switch when yours is on. You also need to remember to turn it off, as it's on battery power. I would have put it on switched power but, I couldn't find a circuit switched nearby I was sure could handle the load. Here's a kind of wiring diagram: Battery or panel--------------interior switch------------lamp positive [/QUOTE]
