how to tap into headlight wiring 2016 sport?

[Blues Fan 30]

I have been searching like crazy and coming up empty. Anyone know where the best place is to tap into the headlights and which wires I will need to tap into? I am trying to add footwell lighting and want the lights to come on when the headlights are on.

Thanks!

I would think the best place would be behind the headlight switch. As for which wire, I don't know, but I believe there are wiring diagrams here on the forum.

You can find wiring diagrams here. BBB Industries- Premium Alternators, Starters, Power Steering Products | TSB's & Wiring Diagrams

Click wiring diagrams, enter your vehicle, choose electrical distribution under system, leave subsystem blank, click search, choose first diagram. It's got headlights and the headlight switch, etc.

I already have lights to install, just trying to hunt down the right wires to tap into in order to accomplish my goals. I THINK its a couple wires in the center console but not 100% sure.

Thank you, SIR !!! I think you have solved my foglight issue,

I installed a new headlight switch with the fog light switch I put in some aftermarket Foglights and wanted to run to the BCM. when I push the switch I hear a "Click" which I assume is the relay in the BCM with that site I was able to find the wire Brown/yellow is the power on for fog lights.
I will update if this works.
EDIT: I have Forscan so I will go in and activate Fog lights I have seen this playing around in the program
