Looking for a switched power wire in 08 screw dash

Hello,

I am wiring extra fog lights into my 08 SCrew 4x4 XLT. I have the stock foglights, but want extra power. I am using a relayed system, with a rocker switch to trip the relay, and I want it set up so that I can't lock the truck up and leave the lights on.

So I am looking for a switched power wire to piggyback onto for the rocker switch. The switch is mounted next to the main light switch [left].

My first instinct is to make it run on a keyed/switched power wire. However, if I could find a switched power wire that is hot when the light switch is turned to at least parking lights [it would be best to work with automatic lamp position AND running lights, but I would pick the running light side if I could only have one] that would be preferrable.

Can anyone help me out here?

Thanks!

Actually, I read a few more threads and then wrote this one, then went to class. When I returned I saw the answer I needed and your response to this one at the same time.

Thanks!!!!!

This will fix my issue perfectly.


Edit: It did! Thanks!
