Footwell lights help?

Hey guys I just picked up some LED strips for my footwell and was wondering how to wire them to go on with my headlights...I drive an 08 Foz if that is helpful I would prefer not to have them on a switch.

-Thanx

Tap into the ring light around the cigarette adapter (if you have one) that what I did in my old car. Or the hvac lights. Anything that only comes on with the headlights

Hmmm toggle switch in one of the blank switch plates would be nice.

Some of the LED strips are BRIGHT

+1. i have blue LED under pass and driver dash. I have a toggle switch at stock clock location. its pretty neat. oreilly has these cheapo 4 way power socket swtich thingy. basically you plug in 4-way plug into cig lighter and plug in up to 4 power accs. I have on mine: 2 footwell LED, Radardetector, and phone charger. this way i can toggle with the push of a button while driving isntead on fumbling with different wires and switching them out.
