Tap into the power wire..white with green stripe and then ground to frame. I bought led's to use as reverse lights too but I might get a roll pan instead so have delayed installation

I bought some ebay one for my rear dome light and some from super bright led for my front dome and third brake/cargo light along with a flasher unit for the third brake light. I just got the third brake light and cargo light ones installed today I'll get a video and some pics this weekend.

If you have a harbor freight in the area you can pick a volt meter up for a couple of bucks. I think for labor day you could get one for free. I wouldn't trust it if you need perfectly exact numbers but it'll do simple things.
