so i own a mach edition ford focus that comes stock with like upgraded interior, 2 amps and a 10".
i want to install some cathodes or LEDS on the interior like under my steering wheel so my mats glow.

anyone know a really easy guide for someone who has never done this before?

my main problem is finding out where to connect it to the power?

Just get LED tubes and ziptie them up under the dash. Wire them up to your battery.

i'm not lazy, i want it to correspondent with my car's lights. so when i turn my car's lights on when it gets dark out, it comes on when they come on.

any way that can be done?
or if not just a toggle switch?

I've done the battery with an external switch multiple times.

I myself wired mine right up to my amplifier, so I didnt need to do any of that.

its idiot proof to fuse tap u take the red power wire stick it in where the headlight fuse goes then put the fuse back in it will hold it in place there then find a nice clean metal surface with a bolt on non painted perfered and ground out the black wire at it
