wire up the positave to a perm live and the negitave to an ignition live, then when the ignition is off the ignition live becomes the earth and on comes the light! guess its for door pins with leds in them? if so there should be plenty of wires on the electric windows to play with

will that not short when its turned on? It's for an alarm light which flashes on its own - the one from my alarm is controlled by the alarm so i cant just tap into that

Use a relay that switches the curcuit off when a current is sent though it and wire it up to an ignition live....
