its real easy. All you would have to do is run power like i did from the dome light put your switch in then run power to the lights and ground them

Yep it's that easy, just pay attention to the + - markings on the LED strips because they will only light one way. I pulled my power from the hot side of my KC light switch, but some people use the done light, any you can also use the remote wire off the head unit.

I think I'll wire mine from the remote wire to a switch instead of doing all that

I've already got my amp on a switch so why not add another lol, I'll have to remind myself to tap into the remote before the other switch

You can wire them to the same switch so they'll go with the bass.
