Wiring Neons To Corners..

Hey guys..

So, I was curious as to how to do something.. Right now, I have those little blue LED accent light things from Pep Boys as my under dash lighting.. Honestly, they're fine for me, but a little brighter light might be nice.. But I want to hard-wire them to the lights so they only come on when I have my lights on (corners).. Would all I have to be to run the negative to the strut post and run the positive to the corner light fuse..? That's what I did for my a-pillar gauges.. The nice thing about the LED's is that they don't kill your battery.. But normal neons will.. Would this be the correct way of doing this and any lighting like it..?

Thanks!

Well for starters all ground wires do not need to be grounded on the strut post that is marked (-) you can use any bare metal area on the car. As for power tho you would want to use an add a fuse adapter and plug it into the DRL spot in the fuse box under the hood and run your power wire off of that. This way you create a separate circuit for the under the dash lights that is triggered by your corner daytime running lights
