Default Help with Led Strip in the trunk (IS250/350)

So I currently have a lead board in my trunk but it's not bright enough. I was thinking of putting a led strip (24 or 36").

Does anyone know what's the easiest way to power the led strip? Can I get an adapter that uses the current DE3022 socket?

Thanks

Easiest way to power up the strip would be to tap the wires to the trunk light wiring if you can find it using a t-tap. If the wires are too hard to get to, just attach the wires to the metal connections inside the trunk light housing, respective to the polarity.

I agree with ijdmtoy, that is what i did, simply twist the led wires to the respective metal bracket for the oem light in the trunk. i left the oem bulb there just in case.
