Default Wiring Interior Lights via License Plate Light Wiring

I'm an idiot when it comes to electrical wiring. What I'm wanting to do is make an addition to the interior LED lights I already have by wiring 2 lights onto the inside of the back hatch door of my xD via the license plate lights. Basically, I want the interior of the trunk space to lightly glow blue only when the running lights are on. I assumed that the license plate lights would be the best thing to wire them into. If anyone has a better idea to power my little LEDs, let me know.

But basically, I wanted to know if anyone has done this before and if they like the idea. And, I wondered if someone could give me a simple step by step of how to wire the LEDs into the license plate lights through the access panel on the hatch door. They are little 12v LEDs, 2 of them.

And, if anyone is feeling nice enough to instruct me on wiring exterior LED running lights into my existing running lights, that'd be great too. That's my next project. As I said, I'm an electrical idiot!

Nevermind. I just dove in and figured out the wiring stuff. Wasn't bad at all. Looks great too!
