Personally, I won't use the map/interior light, as its always on. I want my V1 to turn off when I turn off the ignition, so I always wire mine into the accessory block or any accessory lead (usually the power to the radio). Running a wire to the top of the windshield is trivial to do cleanly - just tack it down to the extreme edge of the windshield with clear silicon bath caulk (comes off without cleanly easily when you want).
it seems so easy to do it from the mirror, ill turn it off

Exactly - leaving it always turned on and letting the ignition switch turn it off and on is one less thing you have to remember, and may save you a ticket. It may also save you a dead battery, if you don't drive your Viper very often and accidently leave it turned on for a few weeks. (Not my reason for doing it, mine is a daily driver unless its raining.)Sure you can turn it on and off but the cig lighter isn't real hard to tap into and you'll have piece of mind knowing that your V1 will be operating every time you're motoring.
