Hook the positive up to the parking light positive (black with a red stripe) and just hook the neg up as a ground somewhere.

wow... this is a first.
stop acting childish... no ones comments were meant it to criticize you. we don't care if your dad got you a nice car, but your attitude about "i think u guys are just pissed cause u had shitty cars when u were 16" won't get you very far around here. we're all simply looking over the fact that your car is silver. but i won't say why because it might jynx you.

I just made my own footwell lights, hooked up to the headlight circuit through the little light that usually goes in the ashtray (since my ashtray obviously isn't there anymore).
It is just two 12" Blue cold cathodes hooked into one inverter, which is behind the screen. I also have a switch under the panel on the driver's side so I can switch it off.
