I got my power from the entry light/porch light switches.
Added another switch for the LEDs.
Fished the wires through the wall (pretty much followed the path of the porch light wire).
Drilled a hole in the side wall that came out less than an inch below the awning.
Attached amber LEDs starting at the hole, made connection, filed hole with marine silicone.
Trimmed off excess LED strip. I used two different LED strips so that I could just trim off the end since the wire is at one end. I didn't want to 'double' going the other direction.
It has worked 10 years so far.
