Hey Mike;

With that small of a load you could probably dispense with the direct-to battery connection, and use the add-a-fuse as the feed. This will turn off the lights when the truck is not running, regarless of the position of the manual switch.

To use the 'Hot-in-Run source as the 'permissive' and not the feed, you need to use the relay configuration mentioned earlier - with the battery as the feed.

best of luck

So adding a fuse to my fuse box under the hood will work okay?
