Default Wiring Question

I recently installed two sets of KC lights on my jeep. I just hooked the low power wire to the battery for supplying the switch with the power to turn on the relay. I was wondering if anyone knew of an easy place to hook this wire up that would be hooked to the ignition so i dont have to worry about my daughter turning the lights on while the jeep is parked and ending up with a dead battery later.... Some place under the hood would be ideal since the wiring is already in that area.

If you have already run the switch into the cab, just use a vampire clip on the ignition hot signal to the cigarette lighter into the + terminal of the switch, the - of the switch should still go to pin 85 of the relay.

M8 or M9 slot on the fuse box. Thank Ron for this write-up.
