Ok, so I read up on LED Wiring, and have some experience with it from Guitar Pedals.

I have a few questions.
First: I want to remove my trunk light and replace it instead with a LED Strip on my Subwoofer Box. Could I just cut the wires from the trunk light and splice them to their respective leads on the LED strip? I think it will work, but just want to cover bases.

Second: I want to add a few LED strips under the dash on each the passenger and driver side. I want them to turn on automatically when the car is on, where do I get a hot lead for that? (I am also going to install a toggle switch so that if i WANT to turn them off, I can, I just want them to auto turn off with the car for safety from draining the batt.).

I used a "Power Constant" wire from my Kenwood Deck to my Amp, would it be possible to splice the LED strip into that, since then when the radio is on, so is the LED?

What fuse would I wire it to (if I dont wire it to the radio) to always have it on when the car is on? And how do you wire to a fuse?

Thanks! New here, this is a great forum! Its a 2003 Alero, 2.2eco if you are curious.
