Tie in to a wire in the overhead vanity lights. That is what I did. If you have done any minor wiring before it should not be a problem. It is easier done with the top down. We had to gently pry the header console off inorder to expose the wires. Be sure to tie into the wire that is only hot when your ignition is on. Im sorry I can't tell you which one that is but it was easy to find. Thats the best I can tell you. Good Luck!

Thank you!
