Easiest way to tap into fuse box?

Hey guys.

I'm looking to install my microvision screen this weekend and I wasn't sure how I should go about getting a power supply for the screen and dvd player at the fuse box.

I've found some accessory slots, but what would be the easiest way to tap into the fuse box? I've already taken everything apart and looked around, but it looks like a real PITA to tap into the fuse holder. Would fuse taps like these suffice?

Thanks.

why not tap into the radio wire harness? You have both a ACC wire and a constant 12V+ wire RIGHT THERE.

if you need to tap into the fuse box, u can just take a fuse out, stick the wire in there somewhere and shove the fuse back in.

Well, I'm hooking up both a stand alone dvd player and a monitor, so I'd prefer to run the power from the fuse box, and I'd like to keep it semi-clean.

I'm from Westville.

tapping power for the radio wiring harness is alot more cleaner than running a wire to the fuse box... but it's your call.

all you'd need is one little splicing piece.

why not use a power converter and a switch somewhere?
