    I need to find a wire on the drivers side that sends 12v when the headlights are turned on. Got any ideas?

    Also be great if someone could find a full wiring schematic for the 07-08 trucks

    My headlight switch has 10 wires coming off it...but that's a good place to start.

    Haynes just has the basic diagrams, I might just have to buy a full service manual

    Awesome. I'll print that sh!t once I get home!

    Got it figured out, red/yellow is only 12v when headlights are on. So my gauges work!
