If you are using a American Auto Wire harness it has a matching plug that come from the top of fuse block.
The AAW harness uses the same white/orange wire colors as the stock lighting. Just like 1971Stepside mentioned.
It plugs right into the fuse block if it's stock.
Remember these light are switched on when the ground is connected, not the hot.

Blazer it's simple enough to connect. If you have a truck and are using a combination of dome light, foot well lighting and cargo lights it more complicated.
Typically you have to splice some wires.

Newer cars are almost exclusive activated by switching the grounds. Been a big change since the 70's because of the wide spread use of computers.
