If you are talking about your remote wire from your head unit than no I wouldnt advise it as it most likely will blow the remote lead. You can wire the remote to trigger a relay to turn the leds on though.

Lazy F*ck should of just typed it all out what you meant at first haha. but i would advise just running a relay/switch or get a remote turn on box can control it on the remote on a keychain gotta love that that's what i did for my neons in my car.

dont run it off your remote wire, but led's dont draw alot of power but it will be easy to just tap into another wire. just find one thats hot.
