Good sources for a 12V switched signal under the hood

Does anyone know, off the top of their head, of any good 12V switched sources under the hood besides the coil?

Coil and everything else switched is fed from the red wire with green stripe... It's a double feed from two switch sections that are connected together... So basically you can pick up the R/G wire about any place it's convenient... Same circuit also feeds several fuses in the panel...

If you do pull power from the coil wire use a relay on what ever device so you don't pull excessive current from the coil.

I never take power off the coil, I only use the 12V switched to trip relays or if something calls for it (like gauges), which I can't imagine use much power anyway.

You got right to the point and didn't leave anything out.

You'd really have to elaborate to say it in too many more words than that anyway.
