How to Tap the parking lights ?

I want to install some LED in the cabin , but i want them to turn ON/OFF like everything else, when turning on parking lights , can this be done ? Is it possible to tap into the power from something that lights up when the parking lights are turned On ? LEDs are low power, only using 3 of them. Here they are

I think you'd be good to go if you tapped into the standard cabin illumination circuit somewhere near where you want to add your LEDs. The illumination circuit is designed to have additional switches in it anyway, so you know the extra minimal wattage will be fine.

G'day,
If you have an empty slot in your fuse box, as per the picture, then you can tap into this and run some LED's. Not all FJ's have this empty slot.... mine doesn't.. so I run a separate switch and fuse, but if you have the empty slot.... easy peasy
