If you choose to do it that way, then yes. You would need to buy the harness that would have ran to your mirror and you'll cut it up and connect your 5v regulator to it. This is an alternate way that isn't shown in the pics from then 1st few posts. I think Vern posted some pics of it later on.
I'm sure you could buy just the connector and contacts somewhere out there for cheap but the search would take some time.
You could also probably splice or vampire tap into the harness that is in every vehicle near the dome light.
Does anyone know if the part number: H501SAG030 will work with the 4th generation legacy (2005 Legacy, 2.5i)?
From the images I can find online, looks like the white connector is the same but I can't find any confirmation that it is.
In scouring online retailer descriptions, it seems that there are specific harness for 2009-2013 as well as generic ones with descriptions that say 'will fit 2000-2013'. The most important part is that that white female connector will fit into the port in the overhead lighting compartment.
