You should never connect any accessory directly to the battery in a car. If a short happens, you will have the full current capacity of the battery routing through the passenger compartment. The current capacity of a car battery is enough to melt a solid copper 14 gauge wire in a flash. This can easily start a fire.

If you must, go to an auto parts store and buy an in-line fuse kit. Put a 25 or 30 amp fuse in it and use no smaller than 18 gauge wire in your new circuit.

How do you turn on the X type Jaguar running lights?

1st move the light switch to the desired position. 2nd PULL the switch gentle towards you. There are two positions for this switch. The first position or click, will turn on your front running lights. The second position or click will turn on both your front running lights and additional lights in the rear. You will be able to tell that you have activated them by the icons on your dash that will inform you they are on. To turn off simply push the switch back in. (Actually, those are the FOG lights, front and rear.)

It's a 20 amp mini fuse #37 in the fuse panel under the hood on the passenger side fender well. It is labeled "Parking" in the fuse diagram, and if blown will cause you to have no dash lights and no rear running lights.
