Is the oem hood pin a negative trigger?

If it's a negative trigger and I want to use it to power on neon lights via a relay. Should I use a diode to isolate the hood pin negative trigger wire?

my stereo guy wired up strobes for my engine bay that as soon as the hood was popped from inside the car they were on.. i am 90% sure he tapped the power and ground to the power and ground on the hood switch.
