    Just got 2 60 inch strip of led ip67 3m adhesive stick ons. Plan to go on the frame so it lights up when i hit the clicker key fob. Going to run pass side under truck following factory wire to join driver side an come into the grommet driverside rear. I know these lights say it requires 12v. Can i tap into the cargo wire without blowing a fuse? That would make them turn on the way i said but i dk which wire that is. Everyone says its a gray thin wire. Im worried 120 inchs of led at 3.5 watt a foot is going to over power the cargo light fuse. It is going to be a total load of 35 watts. Think cargo light can handle that? This is rough estimate.... Thanks guys

    The color wire depends on the year of the Tundra.

    If you utilize the footwell light wires they will fade on and off when you lock/unlock.

    that’s what I did.
