You could splice them into the main headlight switch on the dash.

what color is the wire i would need to splice in to?

Can you get to the back of your guage cluster?
You could trace the dash wiring back to the dimmer or the switch from there. Then they'd work just like the rest of your dash lights.

The wiring should be in a Haynes or Chilton's manual.
