Arrow Light inside cap need Hot wire?

Hi All

I want to change my interior cap light so I can turn it on with out the key in. where is the closes power wire or so called hot wire. That I can tap into and will give me power with out truck key on. The only place I know should work is run a wire all the way to the battery and put fuse in line. There has got to be a better way.


Working with 2005 Supper Duty 6.0 Crew Cab long box.

Just finished up the fog light Mod and works like a champ. Only need to cut and ground one wire! Sweet

Great site!

Can't believe no input on this.

Did not think this was so hard of question!

Maybe you can find the wiring diagram you're looking for.
