hi guys, I have a 2015 2500. I want to add some exterior LEDs, clearance lights stuff like that. I want them to come on with parking lights. I know I will need a relay. where can I tap in to get power to come on with the parking lights? I can put the 12v for power from the battery, but where can I get power to activate the relay?
thanks in advance!!!

I do have cab lights, if that helps with answering.

Im guessing that someone will say from the parking lights, or trailer harness (if you have it), but I'm not 100%.

IMO

Sorry. no clue. I tapped into the high beams there (different loom), but I know the parking light wire runs through the next loom over.

For my clearance lights, I spliced into my turn signal bulb in the passenger side headlight.
