Also what side is the bcm on and I can just use a standard relay right?
The BCM is the thing that the grey wire comes out of. You'll need a SPDT relay(cost a couple bucks on amazon). You'll put the 12v line on the switch before the relay. The normally closed circuit will be inline with the grey wire. When you throw the switch, the relay will open (deactivate) the grey wire circuit, and a the 12v line will be supplying juice t o your lights. Turn off t he switch and it goes back to the grey wire (dome light switch) being in control. You will want to use diodes to be sure you don't back feed into your BCM and cook it.

If this does not make sense, I'll try to draw a circuit diagram... Although I am no EE, so it will probably suck
