Installed some rally lights on grille and tried to tap parking lights- did not wok as they blinked on/off so I assume not enough power. Then I tapped into head lights but same result, the lights blinked on/off. I really don't want to install a switch, power and tap into fuse box... Any help here? 2017 f55...Thanks
tap power for the lights directly from the battery feed into the engine compartment fuse box using an inline fuse (this is how the factory kit does it)
AND use a relay .... use one of the 'light lines' you tried to be the trigger for the relay
rather than a switch on tab 86, use your headlight high beam line then the new lights come on with the highs (and only with the highs as is legal)

Thank you and seems like the way to go.. I was hoping to simply tie in to one of the hot wires that go to headlight or parking light. It seemed like not enough juice to power them on (they flickered). That would of been super easy. Thank again!
