Question 12v acc feed

i have installed some fog lights and its got an l.e.d indicator on the switch button to indicate the when lights are on or off.. i just need to find a 12v power supply that is only hot when the ignition is on. i believe its called an acc..does anybody know where i can find one in a 2008 screw?
thanks for the help..

the radio will have both a constant hot and an acc wire forget the colors on my 98 but theyre probably different on the 08

why do you need an acc? i have mine to constant power that way they can run with the truck off.

well at 1st i did wire the switch constantly hot. but the led light on the pushbutton constantly stays on. i was thinkink about putting a different switch without a light but i like this one. so i figure i wire it to the acc...the button and wiring harness came as a kit. so i just used that. it had the inline fuse and relay. and the pushbutton switch has a plug to hook up to the harness-so i just disconnected it for now this way my batt dont die on me. until i get that wired the right way..

that little led wont drain your battery. i have my gps hardwired and it sometimes stays on and it hasnt messed me up yet.

get some led round rocker switches. i have 3 and they only light up when its on.
