Question Aeroforce Wideband O2 install question

I picked up an aeroforce interceptor gauge and it's pretty sweet. I also found a lightly used wideband kit to go with it. The wideband controller box calls for (2) 12v ignition on sources.

Does anyone know if I have to run 2 fresh wires from the fusebox or can I just splice into existing ones under the dash?

Instructions
a. Connect the red wire to a switched (ignition on) positive 12 volt source.
b. Connect the white wire to a switched (ignition on) positive 12 volt source.
c. Connect the black wire to a ground source (the wire going to pin 5 of the
OBD2 port is a good source for signal ground but not required. It may
eliminate the rare instance of a small error due to differences in ground
potentials).

What's wrong with tapping the cig lighter wires? My radar detector and fog light switch (relay) have been there for years.
