Default LEDglow interior lights

I've had a set of led glow interior light in my garage for about a year now, so i figured ide install them. The only problem is there arent any instructions with it. Im trying to hook them up so when i turn on my dash/headlights they come on as well. I dont exactly know what im doing im kinda guessing here any help would be appreciated haha.

You might not wanna do that. LED lights like that even under the dash are quite annoying when driving at night.

Under the dash and underneath my backseats is where they are going. They have an off switch so it shouldnt bother me to much

Well I know for wiring a gauge to come on with the cluster and dim with it it's the blue wire with red stripe behind the headlight switch.
