Default Electrical advice needed

A buddy recently gave me a bundle of 12" LED automotive accent strips. They're nothing but the strips with about a foot of wire. I'm no electrician, and I'm wondering what else I would need in order to be able to put them on my 2019 Street Bob. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

It would be a good idea to find the fuse rating and have a fuse inline on the hot side. Other than that, just basic wiring there. Red is + and black is -.

A fuse, a switch if you want to be able to turn them off some more wiring and some crimp terminals to connect to the battery.
