Do it like you would wire any normal LED? The only difference is that you'll need a buck converter to change from DC to AC.... The strip would be easier to implement, easier to put in and easier to wire. So I don't know why on earth you would want to individually run copper wire to each led....

My one Mate did it with his OPC and he had it as individual lights and it looked pretty sick afterwards when it was done.
Only problem is that he had it in to and electrician to do it so he has no idea how it was done and the car has been written of in an accident so theres no way for me to have a look at how his was done.

thanks for your help though might just be what ill do will post some pics when ive done this mod.

LEDs

I am not clear on what you are trying to achieve. A lot of the LED strips that I have seen are connected in series which means they will all light at the same time and the brightness will match the volume level. What do you expect the LEDs to do in response to the music signal? Should they all come on at the same time where the light level matches the signal level or should they come on one at a time in response to the frequency and volume level?

i wanted each light to be a diffterent colour that way i would have a single colour nor just a bunch of colours flashing i didnt want when the music played

So single color or multiple colors? They have LED strips that are fully addressable, which means that each individual LED cell can be a different color and programmed in a specific pattern or that will respond to specific inputs. There are non addressable LEDs that can only be one specific color across the whole strip or cell at a time.... So it all really matters on the complexity and your skills and abilities. If you have the time and programming abilities, then I would wire in a fully addressable set of strips, then run them on a RPi backend that microphones in the audio and sets color specifically to the frequency range of the sound or something similar. If not, then buy an off the shelf kit on amazon with a mic input. Then wire in the power lines off a buck converter and call it a day.

Fair enough.
my electrical skills go as far as my Memory goes on seeing something done.

so i was thinki9ng of doing the easiest installation .
