    Fyi That most recent diagram is the better one to use.

    The white wire, input to the switch, is the one we're discussing now. The constant powered outlet would be the one id use so you don't have to leave keys in the ignition to use the lights. (Sorry I didn't think of that sooner... I'm not used to having a vehicle with a cig lighter that's always powered)

    Alright, how can I tell which has the constant power? Just plug something like my gps into both with the jeep off and one will still have power?

    Yup. And I think the one with constant power has a battery symbol on the cover

    on mine there is 2 connections for the cig lighter. The one on the drivers side is controlled via the key, the other one (passenger side) is a constant.

    Hope this helps

    Thanks, looks like I'll be tapping into the one on the passenger side then... correct? Also, as far as the inline fuses, the diagram I'm going off shows 20 amp between the battery and relay, and a 3 amp between the switch and the 12v. Are these sufficient?
