Gotcha, well in that case hook up a relay system with your main current drawing from a location that I mentioned, then you can splice the relay input from your ignition wire at your switch. If you have a fox splicing into the red/light green wire should do the trick, just ensure you retain a solid connection when finished.

Are you using a thermostat to turn them on and off?

Also, you keep blowing fuses because the parking light circuit isn't made to have that much additional current draw.
