Question neon under seat wiring question

I have a set of neons that I thought I might install under my front seats, or under my footwells.

My question is this.

Is there a way to wire them to come on with my headlights? I have a toggle switch to hook them up, which I can wire easily.

But I wasn't sure if it would be possible to wire it into my headlights somehow. So when I would flip my headlights it would turn the neons on automaticaly. Also I would be able to flip them off with the toggle if I didn't want them on with my headlights.

I don't know where I would have to tap into the wires, or even how I would make that possible. If it would require me to fish wires through the firewall again I think I'll pass.

I can just flip the toggle. Anyone done this? Or something similar?

I've wired them to just a toggle before. No biggie.

Let me know what wires would make this possible if anyone knows.

I know how to wire them to turn on with the parking lights, but you're gonna have to run a wire to the engine bay.

I would highly suggest saving yourself some trouble and using either manual switches or switched power

You can do it with a relay I am sure. I am not sure how, but I know it can be done. You would just tap into the headlight switch somewhere in the interior, probably under the dash somewhere, run it to a relay and hook it up so it turns the neons on and off as you wish.
