Yep I stand corrected. Been a while since I've thought about basic circuits (do mostly programming related non sense these days). Should of drank more coffee this morning and refreshed my brain on circuits before commenting.

Just got to make sure the wire is rated to handle the load (I'd venture to guess it'll be though since Toyota over engineers things).
