My only problem is finding the ground wire. I see two wires that lead into the plug, but where is the wire to ground it? Should the ground wire matter? What if I tapped the two wires into the fuse of my interior lights somehow if they have the same current as my cigarette outlet so that it turns on when the doors open like you have done?
Thanks for the help illusion. I'm just confused on the instructions you gave. My problem is I'm an M.E. not EE hence, this is me reading your post ===> I'll ask my EE friend and see what he can do.

dood, you can ground it wherever you see bare metal. scratch the paint on the body in some spot and put a screw in it and ground it to that. The chassis is the ground node for the whole car.

I think I got it, there was just some confusion for me( I was thinking there were supposed to be 3 wires, 1 for positive, 1 for negative, and 1 for ground). I'll try it in a bit.

you can tap into the Dimmer switch for the parking/headlights, and use that ground too. its 12 volts.... just make sure you you get the kind of lights that have the cig lighter end and cut it off. Easy to do especially if you already did indiglos.

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone that helped me. I tapped it to the wires for the small ashtray light. I didn't need that light anyways. Now when my headlights or corners go on, it does also. I'm going to hook up the second one I bought today to the passenger side(out of sight of course).
OT, I'm going to see Shakira in January!!!
