Tap Into Fuse Box

How do we tap into the fuse box? I mean I bought some fuse taps for $.99 at Radio Shack, but they are only for the large model of the blade fuses. On closer inspection it seems that we can't just wrap a wire around one of the sides, and re-insert the fuse (or can we [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] ). There isn't much room...can anyone enlighten me? Pics would help greatly!



P.S. I'm talking about the fuse box under the dash...and I'm too lazy to to run a wire all the way from the battery, and through the firewall[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

bluestreak is an unknown quantity at this point
I just put the wire around one of the small prongs from the fuse and put the fuse back in, it's not a good way of doing it, but I had bought the same fuse jumpers, and they're only for the old school fuses. I haven't had any problem with the fuse and it's been like that for over a year

Would it be possible to soldier a wire to the fuse? Atleast that way it would be "perminant" and not fall off or somethin...

I know that you would have to use heat sinks ovbiously, but would it be a good/okay idea to soldier it on there?
