Default Easy switched 12V source??

Im not too good with the electrical stuff. I have a tester, but it just shows power, not actual voltage. Anyone know where I could look for an easy switched 12V source?? Pics maybe ?? Guess I should probably pick up a voltometer. I need to wire up a switch and some LED's

You could use the RAP power supply to the radio. This is hot in ACC, RUN or RAP. It is the dark green wire in pin 9. It is has orange wires on either side (pin 8, 10). There are multiple dark green wires, make sure you look carefully.

Under the hood, it looks like all the orange wires, to the fuse block, are battery positive voltage and all the pink wires, into the fuse block, are ignition wires.

Always test before splicing.
