Cargo Light Install

So my brand new 24 Limited didn't come with cargo lights, so I decided to add my own. I tapped into the tailgate light with two 40W lights, and finding out that it's now overpowering the circuit, and causing them to flicker after being on for about 3-5 minutes. I know I should probably use a relay, but just trying to figure out what fuse these lights should be on, and how I can possibly not completely re-run all of my wiring. Thoughts?

 

Welcome to the forum.

You say 'cargo' lights, but I'd guess you are referring to bed lights.
You should be using some kind of LED strips or lights.
They draw a low current and can be tapped into the cab cargo light circuit without a relay.



I used these..

@mattgecko has some nice bed light kits available.
I guess they would work in your Gen 3..

Thanks for the info! I chose not to go with strips because I wanted a more OEM look. I've also already cut into the bed and installed the lights, so just looking for a solution for my current setup.
