LEDglow kit wiring problems

I just got the LEDGlow underglow kit for my 2021 forte and am in the process of installing it but I'm a bit stuck on finding the right positive wire to tap into for powering the kit. All know is that it needs to be connected to something that only powers up with the ignition, but I'm having trouble pinpointing the correct wire. If anyone has done this installation or knows where the best place is to tap the positive wire, I'd really appreciate your input.
Thanks in advances
 
I put in my LEDGlow underglow kit a while ago. To find a power source that only works when the car is on, I tapped into the cigarette lighter fuse in the fuse box, which is a pretty common option. Just get an Add-A-Circuit fuse tap and remember to pick the right fuse rating. This setup means the lights will only turn on when the ignition is on, so you won't run down the battery.

For your Forte's LEDGlow underglow, tap into the ignition-switched fuse box or a wire powering accessories only when the key's on

Yeah, good idea, using the cigarette lighter fuse for power is a smart choice. Did you connect a new ground to the chassis, or did you use an old ground point? Also, I'm curious if you picked a single color or went with RGB for the kit?
