I need a 'hot' wire for more rear lights

Anyone know where under the seat or
in the battery compartment I can steel a 12v switched power source?

I am installing some small LED's in the rear fender, I just need a power source that is switched on when the bike is switched on and a ground. The ground does not have to be attached to the battery, just a frame or something metal.

anyone have any ideas?
I could finish this tonight if someone can help....

if this works, I'll post pics - might be pretty cool

also, found a great site for LED lights: http://autolumination.com/194.htm

All the relays are under the seat. I'd wire it up to the light circuit just so it's consistent with what's already there.

What lights did you get?

I was thinking about trying to find an LED light bar that could mount under the rear "spoiler" just to make the brake light extra bright as well as sort be a backup in case the bulb goes out.

which relay, there are three there with lots of wires coming out of each one?

There are wiring diagrams in the shop manual:
