Artic Fox, you will need a DC to DC converter.
Here is a link to a supplier of DC-DC converters. The model shown is much bigger then what you need, but would allow for future uses, like a stereo, etc.

DC Converter MJ1230C

I helped install one of these for a friend recently, nice unit, well made.
Hope this helps.
