Need some guidance here please. I have 2023 Ram 2500 HD Bighorn 4x4 and I am adding AVS LED bug shield and AVS LED cab marker lights. Installation is great, now I am to the wiring. Wiring has been run to the driver's side fuse box which will not be its final destination. Black wires of the LED lights have a great system ground. Now I want to run the red wires to a power wire of the truck parking lights. So when the truck parking lights are on, so are my AVS LED lights. I have seen the schematics for the 2019 and I have noticed a few differences. The 2019 schematics depict the plug with 16 pins. The 2023 plug on the drivers side has 12 pins. From what I found out using a multimeter pins 9, 10 , and 11 have 12vdc when the parking lights are on. I have also read that using a multimeter and having 12vdc is not as simple as it may seem. I cannot locate a reliable 2023 wiring schematic or wire color code. What I do know is pin 9 is White/Brown, pin 10 is White/Orange and pin 11 is White/Black. I also want to achieve this without having any error/fault codes appearing. Does anyone have any information that they could share? TIA
 
Is a parking lamp fuse tap a possibility? Does the mfg give any wiring instruction with the kit?
 
When I wanted parking light source, I tapped into the parking light circuit at the tail lights because the wiring was less confusing back there.
 
Tap into the cab light harness. Passenger side. I have a 22 3500 with oem lights. Last truck was a 19 2500 without cab lights but the harness had the whirring. I cant remember if I had to use AlfaOBD turn on or not.
