Newer Viking owner electrical questions
Hey everyone, I appreciate the hope so far. I have a few questions that I'm trying to get done on my Viking. I'm trying to make it completely street legal but I got myself into a pickle.
I got myself some cheap LED flood lights because in Arizona I'm going to be riding either early morning or late afternoon. I was able to get everything plugged in and test fitted. However, when I complete the circuit, I get constant powered to the LEDs instead of a key to power.

I also have two plus leads coming off the factory battery due to a winch and then two fused lines Iran for the LED light bars. I also need to add another one for the signal lights.

I haven't completed any of the wiring 100%. I'm going to make it waterproof and such by the time done. However, does anyone know where I could run through the firewall without drilling? Otherwise, I'm going to try to run it under the driver's left foot through the left front plastic next to the roll cage.
I'm also trying to make the signal work for left and right. Do you guys know where I can tie into the rear brake lights for left and right?
I did verify that the three quarter inch LED signals I'm going to be using are working. I did get a custom relay switch and some other relays watching a YouTube channel for hot rods. I think I have everything I need. I just need to figure out how to tie into the rear turn signals while also allowing the brake light to continue to work.
I appreciate any input.

I've also ended up with four relays for fused wires and a Bluetooth box under the hood. , Novice, I'm wondering like how many of these I should have just ran through one fused wire. I did also buy an adapter to go from the key on I guess but it needed a weird butt connector I'm not sure.
Anyways, if anyone has done this recently or has any quick tips or maybe a picture of where I can tie in that would be awesome. Thank you

Okay cool. I think I got the right part. That's definitely going to help out with the key on. Just need to figure out how to take my turn signal switch and run that back to the rear brakes. There's a hot rod guy on YouTube. I've been watching on how to wire all this but I did make quite a mess.

As you can see, there's a little bit of everything happening here. I'm hoping to use this part to try to take away these leads off the positive terminal. Also, you're supposed to be able to ground anywhere on the frame but it wasn't sure so I just ran some of those back to the battery. These all run down to like a set of three relays that are just floating around in the front so I have to get those mounted. There's a turn signal relay and then two relays for each set of flood light.
Because of my amateur I also think that maybe I have too many wires. I don't need as many as these. I could combine them into a single wire maybe not sure.
