sup bro,
to further answer ur question on wiring... first what you need to do is ask yourself is: "when do I want these lights to come on?" Then think... "what other lights come on at the same time?"
For example if u wanted your LED's to come on when u open your door, notice that your courtesy light (light on the lower corner of the door panel) also comes on when your door opens. What you need to do is find the wire that powers those courtesy lights, and tap into the electricity that powers those lights... so that your LEDs will receive power whenever your courtesy lights comes on.
Finding the wire that powers these lights, or any other unit in your car, can be tricky, but remember that all of these wires meet at a common place in your car- the fuse box.
If you can get a hold of a manual... it will tell u exactly which part of the car each one of the fuses controls, when u find the courtesy light wire, or any other unit, just tap into that wire.
If you are not comfortable with tapping and splicing you can get what are called posi-tap connectors to make the job alittle easier.
But as previously stated, if your THIS unsure about the electrical system in your car it would be a really good idea to let someone do it who is familiar with these components- electrical work is pretty costly for any car.

^^ on a side note, it would be a lot easier to cut the connector off the two wires that go to the bulb that goes in that lower portion of the headlight, and connect pos. to pos. and neg. to neg. and put shrink wrap over and maybe a little electrical tape to make sure its really sealed up.

itd be easier to wire it up so that they would come on along with your parking lights. why do you want them to be on when your car is?
and what do you mean by that?

yea, if you hook up the wires that power the led strip to those wires, theyll come on when you turn on your parking lights, which i think would be a better way to have them set up, and it will be really easy to hook up that way as well.
