Are you installing it in addition to the original, or is it going to replace the original? If it's replacing the original, then I would tie into the original circuit if the new light doesn't draw significantly more current.

It's gonna be an addition..It's just a red led strip(12volt) that I'm going to put on my trunk lip.
