Adding Lights. What Wire To Use?

I'm adding a couple of lights under my truck so I can see for snakes before I step on one of them critters at night. I'm looking for a wire inside the cab that controls the dome lights. Anyone know where one I can use close to the fuse box is? I will wire in a realay to turn on the lights I added. And also, where do I get some of those little square driving lights in the bumper from?

Do you only want the lights to come on when you open the doors or do you want full conrol of the lights?

I do not understand why you want to only tap into the wire that controls the dome lights and still add a switch.

I Believe that black/blue will do it, you will probably find it in one of the kick panels
