Default Parking light wire HELP

So yesterday I got around to finishing up the wiring for the clearance lights on my new tow mirrors. I ran the wires over to the fuse box and planned on using an add a fuse for power but it has constant power all the time (I want them to come on with the parking lights). I’m now lookin for a wire in that area that comes on with the parking lights.
Thanks for help in advance!

That’s what I thought but when I plug the adds a fuse into the parking light fuse the lights stay on all the time. I also tried countless other fuses

Okay I may just do that but would the lights come on when I unlock the truck? There are also puddles with the clearance lights so I’d like them to come on when I unlock the truck like the parking lights if possible.
