Default electrical help

got pulled over the other day by a cop the other day
and got a ticket for no license plate lights.
well i got the lights and the wire.

now i just need to figure out where to tap in to make it come on with my lights?

do i need to tap in all the way up by the light switch ( lower left hand side of steering wheel )

or can i tap into the running lights? ( lot less wire )

Does your jeep just not have factory licence plate lights? I would tie into the stock harness in the tailgate
