where to tap for power?

Well I recently got a downpipe with a qtp cut out and was in the process of hooking up the wiring so that I don't have to do the wiring when I install the downpipe on wednesday. Anyways here is my situation. I mounted the switch where the power window controls normally go since I have an RS and there is nothing there. The thing is that my power wire for the switch isn't very long (it ends right around the area where the hood release is). So my question is which wire can I tap for power around that area? The color(s) of the wire and/or pictures would be helpful. Thanks

You can get a "fuse tap" at most auto part store to use one of the available slots in the fuse box from the interior fuse box.
