Im looking to install led lights behind grille and wondering what i can tap into for power . It has a switch box

How much power do these LED lights need?  There might be unused/live slots in the underhood fusebox you can tap into with an AddAFuse or something like that.

Anybody have any idea?  This would be for a '15 PP.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

The package for the lights should list the power draw... It won't be much! If you don't have an unused terminal in the fuse box underwood the you can just insert an add-a-link fuse of the same wattage as on of the lighting fuses and the tail will provide power.  The latter is how the Daylite Britelites switchback DRLs in my car are powered.

There are open slots in the under hood pannel. I used an add-a-fuse for my meth pump.
