A bit late, yes, but nobody's touched on this, so I'll give you the rundown:

Depending on the draw, you may be able to use the Illumination circuit that powers the dash and radio illumination when the lights turn on.

If the amperage is higher, you'd just want to have that illumination circuit engage a relay that powers the LEDs from the accessory line that runs the lighter plug.

I went all out and included the door triggers on my setup so the LEDs go to 100% when the door is opened, and dim back down with the cabin light until it hits my adjustable dimmer setting of 25%. That required some ingenuity on the wiring, but still possible
