led strips

i bought a couple pairs of 9 inch LED strips from streetglow and a switch module. it has 2 wires coming out of it. one is for ground and one is for 12v. if i am using these lights under the glove compartment and under steering wheel, what would be the easiest places the hook the wires to?

to wherever you're mounting the switch...or screw the switch and hot-wire the lights to your interior lights...

Easiest place to hook into is probably the back of the cig lighter.

Yes. You splice into the wires that are on the back of the cig lighter.
