i want to buy some LED'S off ebay (12v) but dont want to play around with the interior light, i want them so when the engine/ignition is on the lights come on not when the ignition is off as i dont want 24/7 light in my car so what else can i connect them to? i dont wanna mess around with plugging the plug into the cigerette lighter either or i will be happy if they come on when i turn my side lights on

    There is an earth on the same plug too if you want it for easy access, it should be black and green.
