Default Cargo Light Splicing

I had some underbody lights that i wanted to run with the Cargo lights because i wanted them to turn on when i unlock the car, and not have to do it manually with a switch.

So just for future references
The Pink-Black wire running to the cargo light was the Power for me in my mitsubishi raider, should be the same but not sure for the 3rd gen dakota owners.

I can do that tomm of the install, but for now here is what ive got



Their just 2 foglights under the truck until my neon tubes get here..

Would anyone know whats the max amount of power i can draw from the cargo light supply without blowing fuses??
I currently have 2 foglights in the front, and 2 under the car and the Cargo light all on the same line, which i think ive already overpowered, but If i just had The Cargo light and the Neon Tubing, would it be okay?

Yup, its 10 amps, use a relay. Now if you are using neons from that circuit you should be fine with just them and the cargo dome. BUT if you want it done right use a relay to kick on the lights and wire a heavier circuit off the battery or fuse block to power extra accessories.
