You would have to pull the center console to gain access to those wires, but those wires have a lot of current going to them, i wouldn't use those wires IMO.

If it matters i tapped into the wire for the rear tag light b/c they only come on when the headlights are on. And if for some reason it messes up and looses it connection the worst thing that would happen is you would loose tag lights which is a lot better than loosing head lights.
