Not sure if your LEDs will need any extra resistors, never had to deal with LEDs directly. If the instructions say that you can connect directly to a 12V power source, things will be much easier.
Where to get power? good question. I dont have a wiring diagram for the car, so I'm just planning on feeding all my interior neon lights from the same power cable as my amp. I'm going to hook it up to switches under the handbrake and control it that way. It would be cool to know which wire in the fuse box to tap in order to get your LEDs to turn on with the dome light or whatever...but I wouldn't know. I'm sure there are people lurking that know though!
