    I need a diogram for the headlight switch in a 03 screw with auto lights. i want to find the HOT wire for your interior lights on the little turn dial switch. (the one to change how bright your dash lights are)

    I'm put in LED bed lights and i want to hook them up so what when i turn that switch on to have my interior lights on my bed lights come on.

    Thank you for your help.

    the switch that controls the brightness has 2 wires. Hook the bed lights up to it. if it stays on while changing the brightness its the other wire.

    You can also tap into the dome light wire in the passenger door sill. Black with a blue stripe.
