Just ground it to any metal point on the car and throw a switch on there. I have mine set up so i can have them either on or off OR do the fade with the dome light. I have a DIY for that somewhere.

i ended up using the constant ground instead of the pink wire and i just added a switch so i can turn them on and of as i please even with car off. but thanx for the DIY

You would be able to control it even if its tapped into the dome lights?
Say your driving at night and you'd want them on just turn on the switch?

^ Yup i can have them on even with the car off

instead of tapping the negative wire couldn't you just put the negative wire from the led into a ground bolt?

does anyone know which fuse controls the dome lights and map lights?

hey guys, quick question, I couldn't find this in the forum, so here it goes I bought 2 of these 24 LED Strip Car Lights Flexible Grill Light White - eBay (item 180367993894 end time Jul-11-09 20:07:24 PDT) and I'm trying to figure out the best and easiest way to connect them. Can someone please help me, I just want to know how to connect the wire, so the lights are on when the ignition goes on. Thanks in advance
