Lighting Help?

So the Led Strip light I ordered I cant figure out. The led positive and negative wire are way to thin, so I dont know how to hook them up to the switch I have. Also I dont know what to hook on what. Its a two pronged toggle switch any hlep please!

just extend the wire if it's too short. LED's don't take much power to run so that could explain the thin wire (that or it's on a cheap side). Ground the ground wire onto any metal part of the car. Then for the power, you can tap into the cig lighter fuse...run that power wire to one prong on the switch. then have another wire coming from the other prong to the + on the LED.

If you want them to turn on and off with the interior lights...you can tap into the done light wires in the drivers side window pillar. Do a search, I quoted what wires to use a while back. Good luck!
