Ah - you mean at the top?
Anywhere. +12V is +12V.

Que?
Which part of any switch is connected to +12V?
Or re-explain what you are asking.....
The diagram should tell you all you need to know about the electrical connections.
How it relates to physical reality is a different issue.
And it will certainly be different if you had +12V switches involved!!

k if you look at you diagram
on the right side of you picture with the led's their is the 3 way switch their their is the (1) with a wire going to the OX drawing on the left do i tap into that wire?
also by doing this do would i need to buy the diodes in order for this to work?...

The LEDs are the diodes. Remember those lighting rods from page 1?
You tap into the wires as shown on the diagram.
Do not tap into your left hand indicator because that is not shown on the diagram.   
Do do tap the GND to the +12V because not only is that not shown on the diagram, but is highly unrecommended by many on this forum.
Also if a switch is connected between +12V and GND, I strongly advise having the O & X somewhere in between (we call X&O a "light bulb" or "lamp"; O&X is the same connected back to front) and/else the LEDs if you prefer (ie - a 12V LED string etc).
Hopefully you understand the above principles.
BTW - call it a hunch, but are you having difficulty understanding wiring diagrams?
Or is it just the way I draw mine?
Maybe instead you can post the drawing that describes your present dome light & LED wiring? I could then modify that.

i kinda understand it
it just that your not understand what i am telling you...but i do appreciate your help
the led(s) switch (1) is that a negative wire that is going to be tapped into the dome 12V wire?
also for all the led(s) wire(s) the (4) positive can i twiste them all up and run one wire to the car battery
and all 4 of the led(s) negative wires will be twisted up and run one wire to the led(s) (2)switch terminal
.....
is this all right?.......i'll try an c if i can post a picture for you asap
