Question How do I wire something to my ignition?

I'm installing e-fans and I ran them to a thermostat but I only want them to be able to come on when the truck is on... where should I run the ignition wire too?

Oh, we got past this problem. Now, I stuck the thermometer through the radiator like your supposed to, but it will never turn the fans on, it doesnt get hot enough. I held it over a lighter, and after a few seconds the fans turned on...? Now i dont know what to do...
