I think you'll find it will have to be in a sealed box and be vented to the outside of the vehicle. Can get boxes from Marine spare parts places.

I would also be putting a big fuse/circuit breaker on it too. But yeah can get the boxes from supercheap and the like too.

Just get a shop to do it. Save you PLENTY of time and angst. after all, if you screw up you can't acutally drive the car anywhere to get another part/your grandma to help you, so the money would be well spent.
