Wouldn't you rather use a switch to kill the grip heaters when it's warm out?

Or are you just wanting to make sure you don't forget to turn them off?

Just use a test light on your fuse box and pick a fuse that's only hot when the key is on.

I know what you mean... that's why I suggested running the wire right off the fuse box supply so that you're not adding any stress to your lighting wires. I'm sure the heaters pull a couple of amps and would add a lot for heat to your lighting wires.
