Ground it anyplace. As for the poitive, if you wanna do it right this is my recomendation:<p>Get a multimeter and start testing the wires in the wireing harness(the car side not the cluster side). connect it to one of the leads and turn on the lights. Keep doing that until you find the one that powers the light. Then splice your red wire into that one.

I used the spare negative and illumination wires where the stereo is. Works fine.
