    It depends on how much current you need to run, you can't just tap into any wire/fuse only knowing the voltage.

    yeah, if you're not doing anything serious with it. wrap it around the side that's across the fuse so that you get the benefits. The make fuses with wires coming out of them. pretty cool, but if the blows you have to re-wire the thing.

    do like Trey suggested, run them off the 12v constant that feeds the clock.
