Question Clearance Lights.

I've got an 82 F-150 with the Cab/Clearance lights. I've got them wired to a toggle on the dash, but it isn't really the best place to be and i'd like to wire them into my markers so that they come on with the lights when i pull the switch.

Where would i have to connect these to the switch? i'm lost here.

Clearance Lights.

They plug into a harness behind the cluster on the left side near the window pillar.
It takes a bullet connector.

Clearance Lights.

I've been all back there, i removed the instrument cluster and routed the wires from the door trim to the back of the dash, under the pad and through my 4x4 indicator to the toggle.

While this works, and works very well... It is in an awkward position and sometimes when i reach for the turn signals i'll bump the toggle switch and make them flicker... and i've whacked the toggle a few good times, it doesn't feel all that great.

As for the bullet connector, i've never found it. I guess i'll have to think of something and try to wire them directly to the switch or either out under the hood, through one of the firewall plugs..

Thanks tho, i appreciate the help.
