Default 69 Wiring question

What would be the easiest way to tap into the parking light circuit. I am running a toggle switch panel that uses LED lights. They say specifically to wire it to parking light circuit instead of dash lights/rheostat. I am thinking of tapping into the brown wires going into the headlight switch. Would this get me there? Thanks!

Yep-

you can hit it at the headlight switch or at the 12 pin rear harness- whichever is easier.

Ahhh, never thought of the rear harness, thanks Richard. Ready to do your headlight kit. Normally I would be heading north this week, but my job is on hold until July 1. Do you want to send it to me or wait it out a little? Glad I have something to work on!😀😀😀

Richard, what are the terminals used in that rear body harness plug. Don’t think they are any version of Packard 56 are they?
