I figured it out. So, the accessory fuse was actually a relay, so the tap and the 20a were not very useful. I did some experimenting and put the positive under the top left peg and the negative on a bolt under the console (directly under the fusebox).

This is the actuators I bought from Amazon:

Wow ok, that's actually really easy. Thank you. I think I'll go with the Plasti-Dip instead just because so far my vinyl cuts have been very shaky. I still want to finish this test for anyone who decides vinyl is the way to go, I guess. Thank you again.

couple cans of plasti dip will cost you about the same amount. new paper is free just use the flyers from the mail. you probably have masking tape laying around the house. and theres TONS of videos on youtube on how to do it. it's pretty simple. either way good luck I cant wait to see how it turns out.

I drive a 2013 Spark and I wanted to make my wheels a bit more customized.

I ended up deciding to add vinyl instead of changing the rims out.

I will try to keep this post updated as I continue this project. I don't mean to be a tease, but I will not be posting the final design until I am finished and satisfied.

So far, I'm close to finishing the first Vinyl Prototype.
Here has been my progress so far:
Step 1, I took some paper, put it against my wheel and tried carving the paper to get a basic idea of what the design will look like with very general sizes and very general shapes.
I edited some images on Adobe Photoshop to what I had believed the project would look like when I had finished.


Step 2, this step was mostly just on Adobe Illustrator, trying to get a finer shape and size down. It was summed up into Design, Print, Cut, Spray Glue, Edit, Repeat. I now had a new idea on the final project. It consisted of 5-6 pieces (this part is still to be determined.)


Step 3, with my currently finalized prototype, I printed it out on cardstock and started drafting on actual vinyl pieces. I'm in the process of cutting them out to see how they fit before I make final vinyl cuts. More updates to come.
(Side note, if anyone can tell me how to scale these image sizes down a bit for better reading, that'd be nice.)
Edit: February 17th, 2016:
I've applied the test vinyls. One wheel is the control, I did nothing to it. Wheel 2 is Spray glued-over. Wheel 3 saw 5 minutes of a hair dryer. Wheel 4 got spray glued, then 5 minutes of a hair dryer. I'll keep it on for a week and see which one stands up the best.
I will not be going through with my original idea of putting vinyl on my car. I have been suggested to use Plasti-Dip. I guess this information can be for whomever really wants to use vinyl on their wheels or someone who needs to put vinyl on steel. Either way, the test will proceed and I will post results.

Hey buddy, go to your closest auto parts store and pick up a fuse tap. Also get a 20a fuse. It should be by the fuses. It will look like a fuse with a wire coming out of it. Next, get all your lights mounted. Run all your wires through the center console. just stuff them in the sides. And run your front ones under the carpet etc. Next take all of the positive wires you can solder them together if you wish. Find the accessories fuse I can't remember the number but I know it's on top of the fuse box. Take that fuse out and put it in the fuse tap. And put the other fuse you bought in there too. Next crimp the wires into the fuse tap. Plug it back In to the fuse box. It will be a tight fit. You'll have to experiment with the orientation of the fuse tap to get it in. Next find a bolt near the fuse box that is on bare metal of the car. Put your negatives under the bolt. Start your car and presto! Let there be light!!
