Does anyone know a spot other then the fuse box that i can run an led strip to so when the car turns on they do and when the car turns off it does the same. the only spot i can find is the washer motor in the fuse box and the wires dont want to stay around the fuse since its the tiny little fuse

yeah i spliced my led running light wires to the wires for the oarking lights.... Now, you won't have seperate control of them this way, they will just be always on, or always off.. BUT, you could always throw a toggle switch in the dash, and run the positive wirefrom the toggle swtich up to the lights as well (the way URSUS did his)

ended up grounding one side to the battery and the positive to the fuse for the washer motor, that way they act as daytime running lights and stay on once the headlights come on, but turn off with the car
