if you wire it to your headlight fuse, the LED will come on when your parking light and headlight is on.

Tap into the domelight fuse is the easiest way to do and you don't need a switch. The light will turn on if you hit disarm the alarm or every time you open the door. The light will automatic turn off few seconds after the door is close or put the key in the ignition.

Go to an autoparts store and look for an "add a fuse" circuit. It takes an existing fuse and adds an extra fused wire out. You take the fused wire out and use that to power the LEDs.

Oh and fyi, you should shave the LEDs to get them to disperse their light better. Grab a dremel or some sandpaper and scuff up the tips.
