LED strip wiring question
I have a general question. I'm not to good at wiring but I have a small problem. I'm going to be putting led strips around the headlights on my 2010 so they'll look like the 2013 model headlights, and I want them on all the time and (obviously) only when the car is running. Can this be accomplished by wiring it to the alternator? Will this work? Can anyone chime in with suggestions?

i suggest u tap it parking light (easier to install as well) and it's more obvious to see during night time or whenever u turn on the parking light.

All of fuses are under the hood. You could tap into the right (proper, after the fuse) side of the Ignition fuse to accomplish what you need. The downside is that if your system shorts-out, it will kill the car.
Did you look at DRLs? Those might get power just when you need them. If they're not Bi-Xenon, you may have +12V at one of the headlights.
