Led door strip

Hi guys I want to hardwire a couple of door strip leds which come on when the interior lights comes on, so basically when opening the door etc.
Is it ok to solder the positive and negative wires to bulb holder location? Then run the wire through the headliner down the plastic pillar to the door.
Image attached.

Thanks

You could tap there for a matching voltage, but you would need to know if any delay/dimming/control circuitry feeding it could handle the extra strip's current draw. Maybe use that tap to run a relay to control the lights? Personally if I was using that location, I would pull the board out and solder leads to the PCB somewhere so as not to compromise the lamp socket.
