Would this just make it so I have to manually turn them off ? I would like to have them off on the accessories ignition position like the headlights and tail lights

some models have the option of a aux lighting switch so yes it would be manual.
if you want automatic, might find a power feed to a light that is off when in acc mode and tap into it, leds would not be much loading. if that concerns you, you could always add a relay that circuit would control and get power from the acc fusing.
i do not have the schematic but you can find it on the harley sip site.
