switched corner light??

[bigrob123]

i was wondering what it would take to switch my corner light and use a low powered bulb that is bright enough to see in the dark but be dim so i can go places im not supposed to be drawing as little attention as i can. i want it completely isolated to its own switch and to run off my second battery. i kinda dont want to run all new wires so i was hoping to cut the wire at the light switch where i think it is and solder a attachment wire to make it to my switch board is. so if some one could tell me where the wire is located nearest the cab to attach to the corner lights. what size wire should i use? and should i run a relay? so every one knows it a 99 ford explorer xlt.

Would helping with this be aiding in a crime?

no this is not a crime. and sorry i forgot a , go places im not supposed to be, drawing as little attention as i can*

if youd like the story we have a fire pit out in the woods with a dirt road leading out to it, and we have had some trouble with some of the people around sayin that the headlights would shine into there bedroom and wake them up causing a distrubance. we have not had any troube with cops, the home owners just dont want the car light.

What about wiring up your fog lights to come on with the parking lights. They don't shine as far. I think there is a thread on here about which wires to switch to get it changed.

no i can turn my fog lights with my parking lights but the are just to brights and i like there brightness for other purposes

Well you could wire up a "day time running light" that would run by itself off the key or put the switch under the hood for times when you don't wanna run them. That way you don't have to run the wires into the cab. Something like these:

i would like to refrain from adding addtional lights due to the amount of things already in/ on my ex.

Best of luck to you.
