to be honest, if your wanting to do it that way, the you will be looking at extending the wiring, but have a look here for full advice:

easiest way to get into the relay without hacking at it, is by using PosiTap's.

They are more expensive than their scotch lock counterparts, but they are easier to use, cleaner and safer.

I used a fuse tap to tap into the engine sensors relay to get the power, so they turned on and off with the engine. I ran it so that when the sidleights came on it went off, but if your wanting an override, then your going to need to wire it to the battery terminal with an additional switch to control it.
