Ok so I installed the panel I got from Mystic1219 super easy to install. So far I only have a dome light switch, and 2 LED light strips ice blue! Anyway I ran a hot from the battery to the switch, a negetive to the battery and switch. Tied the two led strips together and also tied the grounds together and ran to the battery. My question is if I leave the other jumper (hot) on the switch when the rocker switch is off it stays lit with the key off....not good will drain my battery. But if I unplug that jumper off the switch the lights work it just don't stay backlit when the rocker is off. What would I have to do to make it stay backlit when the rocker switch isn't on but won't drain my battery after I kill the engine.

You'll need to run a keyed power source to the back lights if you want them to go off with the key.
