LED, constant power source option

[drew0622]

I just installed the CROW MOLLE overhead rack. It came with a red LED map light and an additional USB port. Instruction says, if you have the factory AUX switches, to wire to the harness inside, constant power source for LED and the USB to the ignition triggered power source. I do not have the factory AUX switches, only the LASFIT aftermarkets, which I love, but they do not have the additional wiring. Should I just splice into the 12V cigarette lighter, ignition trigger power source, for both items? Any other suggestions? thanks

There’s the constant in the sport bar for the push button lights. May not be enough amps up there, idk.

Thanks. Might be an easier routing of cable as well....

I have a similar lights on my cage. They're spliced into the harness that runs along the floor to the interior lights and come on like the prior OEM lights with the interior light switch/stalk on the column. Mine don't have an on/off button, but you could just leave the button on and the lights will turn on when they have power.

Otherwise the 12V outlet would be fine too.
