Default Accent lighting

I wanted to add accent lighting and have them come on when I unlock my truck with the rest of the lighting and I’ve seen where you can tap into your third brake light or the purple wire in the door seal but I was wondering if it would overload those wires I tap into. I was going to add 12 pod lights btw

Depends on the power draw of the lights you go with. If its too much draw, yes it will affect the circuit. Relay it and you won't have any issue.

yeah I think that’s what I was looking to do just to make it safe but I was also wondering if there are empty fuses I could use that activate when the truck gets unlocked and maybe just use on of those
