I just brought an aux switch into my truck and that way I can turn them on and off whenever I want. I like that I can turn them on without having high beams.

I don't want to drill any into my interior to mount a aux switch. In my ranger I had a custom radio bezel made to work my lights. Pic included

Use the hot from ur brights at the headlight switch and ground the lights out on the frame dont try and tie into the power right at the light otherwise it will draw to many amps. You can even put a inline fuse in if your worried about to much power that's how I would do it if I didn't want to put a switch in
