If it needs to be switched of/on, the best bet has to be from the ignition switch.john.n

Make a new spur from the battery and put an inline fuse in it for the corract amperage.. then run it along inside the kick stips on the nearside of the car its quite easy really but make sure that you don not damage the other wiring there....

Possibly to put your wire through! there are several on the nearside but any of them will do if its only one wire.
