Default howto - city lights always on

Hey, wanna hook up my city lights so they turn on when the car is running. Does anyone know of a wire that I can tap into? Any other thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

Default take off the dash panel under the steering wheel...

the relays and several power points are under there. the X75 post is powered any time the car is running.<ul><li><a href="https://www.audiworld.com/tech/int10.shtml">https://www.audiworld.com/tech/int10.shtml</a</li></ul>

Default another question about snaking wire

what is the best way to route a wire from the fuse box to the front of the car. Where is a good opening in the firewall to snake it? TIA
