Hook it into anything that's backlit with the headlights eg. the cigarette lighter.

My headlight on reminder consists of a $3 12V buzzer that's wired between the tail lights and door switch. IIRC all those wires were available under the front passenger seat at a loom plug. ;)

what the senser does is turn the lights on and off automaticly depending on light conditions so what you said turn them on or will I have to find a relay or will I have to hook one up somewhere

If it gets dark you could just turn your lights on :D

You could hook it into the healight relay I think from the switch that comes from the steering column... but you may lose the ability to manually control them that way.
I've neva heard of someone putting one in.

That changes things a bit then, sorry! I thought you must have been talking about a headlight reminder.

Going by the wiring diagrams there is a relay for the headlights (which you would need to hook into the energising coil of.) My guess would be in the engine bay somewhere, most likely in the electrical box next to the battery?

You could always hook up a separate relay and just wire it to the headlights. It shouldn't cause any issues with the factory wiring left as is.
