any constant power wire would work.just find a wire that is live when the car is off.

Sounds like your best bet would be to tap your radio's constant or run a line from the battery with a relay attached.

Use a spdt relay with the switch attached to your ignition and the relay part tapped into the constant. fuse it of course. then run your dummy light up top and you're done unless you want it to flash, in which case you just run a flasher in the mix. not difficult. If you need wiring help just ask.

you can always tap the 3rd line from the left on your black harness that goes into your speedo I am pretty sure its constant power and its right under dash so its ez enough to work the wire from there.

if it makes you feel safer, you could always disconnect the battery while you do this so it would accidentally blow a fuse during the process.

I think that'd be cool as running lights as long as they didn't blink like that.

The blue color is cool looking.
