I purchased 4 grill lights and would like to make the power connection in the fuse box in the engine compartment. What would be the best fuse # to tap into to have the lights come on when the power is turned on? I don't want to tap into the wiring harness because warranty issues since the trunk is only 3 months old.

I just got my grill and was wondering the same thing. Where did you end up powering the LEDs from?

Fuse 21. It's a spare, easy to get to, and powers on and off with the truck. I tested it yesterday, and literally finishing up the wiring and connections today.

Is there a wire that you tie into?

No. You need a micro fuse tap. Can get online or local auto parts store. Sorry, I should've mentioned that.
