Thanks.
The LEDs are connected to the window switches so that they turn on when the car is on and stay on until the door is opened, that way you always have a light from the door handle while you're in the car (and maybe in the dark).

I'm sure you can connect it to any power source you'd like, but I'm not sure how much more difficult it would be...you'd have to wire it outside the doors, which is not something i felt like doing, honestly.
