Ford Crown Victoria Though they were what most people drove in the 1950s and 1960s, full-size cars like the Ford Crown Victoria are now an anomaly. But Ford's biggest sedan still offers significant virtues, including affordable V8 performance and room for six people. Today, the Crown Victoria's passenger and cargo volumes compare favorably against fashionable SUVs.

If you want to add lights, put it in with a relay. You can have the relay tapping into the headlights, and then have a switch inside so you can turn them off when you want. That way, they wouldn't be on unless the headlights were on, so you wouldn't have multiple switches to hit to turn off your lights.

I think Charlie means power the running lights from a relay, then use 12v+ from the headlights to energize the relay, but run that wire back to the dash and put a toggle switch in it. Then you won't have to go under the hood and pop the fuse in when you want to kick on the running lights.
