Where can i get power from for accent lighting? HELP PLEASE :)

[Jack_p92]

I want to put some accent lighting in my car (footwell, door pannels, air vents) but i dont no where i can get power from as i would like it to be on whenever the sidelights are on not just when the doors are open.

I understand i can take it from the radio head unit or the cigerette lighter maybe? but im not sure where to find the wire etc? Pictures would be a amazing if anyone could help? pleaseee

Here are some links of what im looking to do:

Ive placed accent lights in my door handles and have traced wires up to the front sidelights fromeither side not an easy job but i thiought this was the best place. I fully covered the wires in black tape to make them look OEM.

thanks but i recon i dont have the skill to do that. ive heard there is a grey and red wire at the back of the head unit which i dont mind splicing in to, but im not very good at electricals so if i plug the positive end in to there what do i do with the other end of the wire from the LED :S

i drew this to give an idea, its pretty rubish but think it gives the idea
i got the led's from halfords and i think they all have resistors built into the wire, does this meen i can run them in a curcit? like in the picture?
