They sell these in almost any auto parts or electronics store:

Check the current draw of the lights, but LEDs should be pretty low.
You'll probably have to strip and splice the output wires. As for the
input, it's designed to plug in to a cigarette lighter plug, so you could
either crack the case apart and splice those as well, or just go get an
add-on cigarette lighter socket and wire that to your battery. Don't
forget the fuse.

There's always Radio Shack, they have all kinds of stuff that could help.
