    I installed Alpha Rex headlights. Part of install is to run a wire with a fuse from the headlights to the ING fuse. This runs the DRL lights. So now I would like to install Aux Beam switch panel. It has the same wire with fuse to be put in same location,

    Question:

    Is there another spot that I can put the Aux beam fuse 10 amp that turns on like the ignition?

    Or
    Should I could I tap into the wire and fuse that I have installed for the Alpha Rex headlights?

    I'm not sure about a second location without looking for a blank spot in the fuse panel but I would not tap the fuse/wire that you have installed for the headlights.

    I didn't think that would work, I could just start plugging in 10 amps that are empty.

    Yeah I'm not too familiar with the "adding a circuit" but I was just thinking that putting the Auxbeam on the headlight circuit would be too much for it.

    If I do find another 10 amp the only thing I can think I may loose is I would have to turn it on after starting the truck. Instead it auto automatically turning on with the ignition.

    INJ fuse is 10amp, I know yotaleds uses it for the add a fuse on their raptor lights.
    So more than likely will work for what you want too.

    I’d second this. Fuel injectors only turn on when ignition is on…
