My wire broke right at the cig plug. I'd like to hardwire it.
I was thinking about the map lights but I think it would stay on all the time. I want it to turn off when the car is off.
Whats my options?

He wouldn't even need to do that.
Passenger A-pillar, about halfway up...should be the connector that provides power to the sunroof. You should have it regardless if you have sunroof or not. Power is available with ignition on.

I started to pull and it poped and sounded like a clip broke off

Very carefully.
Seriously. There are two white tab/clips on the backside of each trim piece. They are very brittle BTW. You will need a skinny, long flatblade screwdriver to pop them out of the sheet metal. No biggie if you break them...they all get broke, sooner or later.
