Find the 12v source that lights up when you open the car. i dont know where it is. but i would on the header lamps since the light up when you unlock the car. when you find it wire up the red wire to it. the the black one simply find a ground conection or find a bolt that touches the metal and
you can use it as ground. also if you want to extend those white cables look out on what kind of wires you use since those cables runs A/C current.
you don't want the cable to frie and start a fire inside your car. Those are the neons i used in my computers

OH MY GOD.
This guy need not be doing any type of wiring.
This is simple pimple stuff to asking how to.
But if you must....
