I've read many times about how using 'vampire' clips is horrible and evil and ohnoneverdoit.

However I've never seen a good explanation about a good way of doing it.

e.g. I have some new component I want to connect up to the ground and power wire that currently connects to my cigarette lighter. Would the correct way be to cut the wire and somehow solder all 3 together, or is there some electronic component that can connect 3 wires in a way that isn't evil?
