I pulled the pin from the harness and jumped a wire from pin 1 (12v all the time) to the pin 2 location. Magically I can run the spotlights whenever I want! Picture attached for clarity. The module is located on a metal plate right by the accelerated pedal under the dash. Standard disclaimer: I take no responsibility if you break something or your vehicle doesn't pass your local state inspection! Or if you get pulled over for running them on the highway.

I'd like to cut the grey wire up high and bend it back into the 12v source, but I read that this is not advised? Can anyone confirm or deny that this is a viable option?
