Default Wiring in warning lights

Ive got some 44 x 2 LED orange strobe lights i want to wire into the back window area and front windscreen area of my Mondeo. Work reasons really. Im going to mount them on the side trims, hide the wiring down the sides but where and how can i wire them to, obviously if i wire them to the back lights I wont be able to open the boot? can i wire the fronts to the interior light wiring? I simply need a positive and an earth connection. for each.

No offence, but if you need to ask how to fit some lights you should probably pay someone to do it.

Take it your going to be using a switch?
Wouldn't you also need a permanent feed as well?

I've just wired some on on my brother discovery.
I picked the feed of the fag lighter. The draw for the lights is only small so didn't see a problem with it. Plus I put an inline fuse as well
He needs to be able to turn them on with his engine on or off.
