Thanks for the advice.

All I really need to do is power up the OEM switch illumination.  I've
got my lights so they can be turned on or off independantly from the
headlights.  I draw power from the blue power connector.  It seems the
easiest way to get switch illumination is to tap into the existing
defroster wiring, specifically, the red/black switch illumination
wire.  

At this point I am leaning toward a plastic wire tap splice connector.

Another approach might be spade connectors, using the appropriate
genders as required.

Any other splicing ideas?


Regards,
