It has 2 wires. I imagine one would be ground and the other to 12v?
I'll splice one into the 12v leading to the taillights and the other ground and I should be good to go?

you got it on the nose. i wouldnt worry too much about the wiring though (as long as u got a 12v and gnd). splicing the wires and miswiring the plate bulb wont hurt much, in fact, the bulb will prolly still work, the current will just be going the wrong direction through the bulb. again, not a big issue.
if your plate is close enough i would try to bum light off the taillight though. you can dremel out a section to cast light on the plate then epoxy a piece of clear plastic from a CD case over the hole to keep the water out. works like a charm unless the plate is set too far back or the lights are weird shapes.
