Hey there I've got myself in a right puddle am not too sure if it's from over thinking etc.

I want to hard wire some led footlights to my car (fiat abarth 595 series 3) I want to use the back of the 12v cigarette lighter but the issue is I don't want to damage any of the wires at all. I could use a piggyback fuse but the fuse location for the circuit is under the bonnet and it's extremely hard to route a wire from there without drilling etc. And I don't want to damage any of the existing wires incase i want to remove the mod for selling purposes etc. Which way would you guys go about this?

I have figured out what to do am going to “piggyback” a fuse from the internal fuse box with one of those add a fuse connectors then run a extra female 12v power socket from that to plug my accessory into smile. Just another question, the fuse that I do piggyback will I be ok to piggyback a 5amp fuse?
