Welcome MayKol
Should be room in fuse box,might be hard to get at.
Could go right to the battery with a inline fuse.

Look by the BEC to see the 12V you need.
Constant all the time power?
Key on power only?
On with the clearance lights?
High beams?
What do you want to happen?
Be more specific with your needs.

Fuse anything you do or your 2013 will become burnt charcoal.
Besides, LEDs in the grill is just wrong.
Its a muscle car, not a clown car.
Next it will be asking how to wire up undercar lighting
and how to install gull wing door hinges...

Thanks fellas, yea I think I'll go towards the fuse box. I'm assuming that this source is key on power only correct? I know there are some ports that are not left unused. And the LED kit also has a fuse as well. Will it work that way?

157db yes you're right muscle car is not an accessory car. This is the only "aesthetic" mod that I plan on doing besides rims. Everything else I plan on investing in the engine.

Rodger that.
Some bling is OK but it can go overboard QUICK.
Key switched power is available thru any fuse that
fuses a circuit that is off when the key is off.
Use a Fuse-a-tap available at AutoZone.
These fuses are located in the SJB behind the
passengers side kick-panel.
