    I think I would go with basic battery powered push on LED lights you can buy a pack for a few quid and wont have the hassle of running wires or switches plus if you forget to turn them off they wont run down your motor battery:)

    My neighbour once put those exact same lights in under the kitchen cabinets to save the bother of running cables. There is feck all light off them and it's a funny blue colour :(

    Now that was a few years ago, maybe they have improved since but I doubt it
