Default Help me find 12v ignition wire

My girlfriend has a 2002 V6 Mustang convertible that was recently broken into.

Instead of spending $400 for an alarm, I plan on spending $5.00 for a bright flashing LED that makes it look like it has an alarm.

My alarm in my jeep has a similar LED, and it is WAY obvious that it's not OEM so it should do the trick........or at least help a little.

Here is a link to what I am looking to install:

Can somebody please direct me to which wire I want to use for the 12V ignition wire which is grounded when the engine is off?

I really don't want to go aroud messing with wires that have ANYTHING to do with the ignition without knowing exactly which one to splice into.

Thanks for your help.

You might wanna take this to the audio and electronics section.

I cross posted it, but wasn't too sure how many changes were made between the years.

i put LEDs in my cup holder and in my ce player pocket....i put it on a switch and on wired it so they come on with the lights.....i need to turn the hgeadlight on to have them on but i can turn them off while the headlights are on......i used the dimmer wire from my cd player for a postive source....you can use a 12v accesory wire or even the power wire from your radio for the power source for it....use a switch...i mounted mine inside the center console like in the armrest/box that opens....its really easy to do.
