Help Installing Under-Dash LED Lights!

I recently got 4 +(-) LED lights to go under my 1996 Camry LE driver/passenger dashboards but I don't know much about Camrys. I was wondering if anyone could offer me some advice.

I want them to plug to my headlights so whenever I turn my headlights on, the led lights will come on as well. Only problem is I don't know where to look for the cords or what color the cords are that I need to use.

Also, how would I go about installing the passenger side LEDs.

Thank you! All help is greatly appreciated.

I have found the best way also to be the cigarette lighter unless you have a maunal that shows you complete wiring diagrams and you know how to deal with Automotive Wiring & fuses.

Isn't that a constant power wire? I only want the lights to turn on when the headlights come on.

Where can you buy the under-dash LEDs with a switch for a cig lighter?
