Default Help with Wiring

I am going to be tapping into my OEM wiring for cathodes, LED's, and load resistors, but need help identifying which cable is +/-.

Also I thought about wiring a 24" red LED strip on the inside of the rear window of my ES. But I was troubled about where to hide the wiring for it because I have side curtain air bags on each side pillar. Should I just tuck it around them as safely as possible or does anyone have any DIY they'd like to share?

OK since you got it done i'll tell you what i was thinking:
in the 1st pic white with black stripe is +, green with white stripe and silver dots is -
2nd pic green is -, red is +

i didn't want to post this and have you possibly screw up your LEDs. actually you wouldn't have hurt anything. if it didn't work all you'd have to do is reverse polarity but i'm sure you know that already ;-)

by the way, i looked at your pics of the finished job. very nice!
