if ur talkin about neon lights that have the cig plug, cut that off, one wire will go to a 12v power source(battery) and the other will be grounded. you'll also wanna put a switch on that, or else they will always be on. are these going on the inside or outside of the car?

I would put them on an accessory feed so they can only come on when the key is turned to acc/on. You can find this wire using a voltmeter and it will turn to 12V once the key is turned to acc or on. I would splice it out of the radio harness or directly into the fuseblock with a female crimp connector. You can unplug the radio and stick the probe in the end or the connector to find the correct wire, then splice it.

[e] And of course, run a switch off either +12V or the ground side.
