Default 03 Blazer - LED Install [Looking for advice]

I am looking to install an LED bar. I am looking for a general idea of where to hardwire into. I want it to turn on when i turn my vehicle on. I was thinking of tapping into the AC but then figured that could be bad too.

Few things, where do you want to install this?
and 2, just a heads up, those LED strips are junk, they do not last long at all.

Well i want to install something of similar effects on the inside of my blazer. Was thinking either under the back seats or even behind that because i have subs in my blazer. The blue lights look amazing with it. However i would like them to turn on automatically when the car does.

I would suggest using a switch that gets power from a source that gets power when the blazer is on. I am willing to bet the blue gets annoying after not being able to turn it off after awhile. The map lights should have power if you want to tap into that.
