How to route underglow?

I got some underglow but I can’t find a way to route it through the dash into my cigarette adaptor. I know how to route through the engine baby into the battery but I’d prefer if I could route it into my car. I spent an hour trying to figure it out and couldn’t find anything. Google didn’t show anything either. Has anyone done it before?

Step 1: stop ricing. Step 2: there's a grommet in the passenger footwell you can punch through if you're really that set on going into the cabin, but I gotta ask, why? Using the cigarette lighter creates alot of extra work and is guaranteed to have cables hanging around unpleasantly.

There are fused female 12v/cigarette taps that add a second barrel, can have it all hardwired behind plastic as a "clean tap"

I'd do an add a fuse, piggy back off a switched power source and run that to a switch to turn the lights on or off. Spend a few more minutes doing some research and cleanly mount and install everything. You can look up some hardwiring of cameras for some easy examples on adding fused power

If you go this route, get a fused version of the example I quickly linked above
