Wiring LED/Neon

[jmack]

I had seen tons of these little gizmos at stores, and thought this would be a very cheap way to add a little accent to my car without having to spend a lot of money. I figured since the car has two 12 volt plugs in the dash why not use one of them. I would like to install two led/neon bars underneath the front driver/passenger leg areas. Any suggestions on how to remove the panel down there, and how would one hardwire the stuff to the 12 volt plug that way the plug isn't in the way, and it would come on whenever I turn on the ignition?
