Sitting - 11.6V

always place your leds by the RUNNING voltage..

i wouldn't tap those... just incase they happen to corrode at the connection for your splice. now your headlights aren't working.

also.. i've always based work with leds in 12V. don't worry about the +/- your doing to have due to alternator. they can handle it. When car is idle... they are dimmer. when its running, they are brighter. no biggie.
