    hey guys I tried looking for other threads to help with no luck. I’m trying to hook up my 5 pin rocker switch to my led cube lights. Could y’all please help me out? I have no idea why my lights don’t work they work when I tested the lights but don’t work with my switch. This is my first time trying to do electrical work on my own. Please help before I lose my mind lol. If you could use pictures that would be great.

    The switch I’m using is:

    Oh and some extra info
    I’m in a 3rd gen Tacoma btw. I don’t know which wire I should tap into so that it only draws power with the ignition is on.

    Idk, never used rocker switches.
    I did a quick rocker switch wiring search on YouTube, a bunch came up. Might be a good place to start

    I tried following along with like 4 videos on and did everything to the letter and still no lights :/
    I feel like this shouldn't be this hard but there has to be something I'm not doing right.
