can be wired either way - depends if you want to be able to power stuff without the engine running.  You could always have two - one ignition live, one permanent live

MOst of them are wired in a feed from the aux switch on the ignition, so you can run things through without the engine running, but kill everything when you take the keys. If not put a switch inline and have it wired live through that, so you can isolate it if you want

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40

The sockets should be feed permanent live from a splice in the wiring harness just behind the dash panel next to the heater duct. It is normally a brown coloured wire.
