Wire them to the open slots in your fuse box.

Since the lights are going to be in the same places SkyMax Jr. has his, you can run the wires behind the plastic part. On the right side, wire behind and over the ECU (rear of center console) and meet up with the other wire.

Cut the cig lighter adapters because you won't need those anymore. Next, splice the passenger wires with the driver side wires. Get male connectors and attach them to the ends (one + and one -). Cut the positive male connector in half (because it's too thick to fit in the fuse). Connect a female wire with a flat circle metal piece to the negative.

Last step, plug the + to an open fuse slot in the middle row (there are two halves to a slot, plug into the top half). Now, unscrew a screw around the area and put the screw through the flat metal piece. Screw back down the screw and you're all done.

Practice lil grasshoppa...

It's trial and error. With hints on the fuse box connection.
