Default Looking for a power sorce

I'm looking to wire up some lights. I want to find a power source for the switch that will work off the ignition. This way if I'm out with the doors off nobody can just flip the lights on while I'm away from the Jeep. I would preferably like it to be in the engine compartment.

Use a fuse tap and tap it into the fuse box but you probably want to use a relay if you're running this setup so its not drawing all the power from the fuse box

Heres a write-up

The pink wire with white stripe under the steering column is also an ignition wire
