Default How to wire LED's in the interior?

Heys guys, I think ive finally reached the point where I have cured my MODBUG, im not going to do anything else after this (mostly because i have gone broke hahah). I bought a pack of BLUE 5mm 12v LEDS. I want to wire them under each seat and over the pedals. Do we have anybody who knows how to run them all off of one wire and where to get the power from (with picture). Also how do i connect a power on/off switch so I can control when they are on!! Thanks guys!!

Someone on forum did have this done but i believe its by a shop. Can always ask our light guru llama and see if he can shed some lights.

From my understanding, you could just run all the lights together and use the center control plug if it's a plug in other wise will have to tap in interior lights wiring and use that as power source.

As for wiring, it would basically be connecting all the + and - together and tape them up with some electrical tape, as for switches, haven't seen it done.

You may have done this already, but if not, try posting your question in the Lighting section (link below). There is some good info there and I'm sure they'd be happy to help!
