It's not hard to add wires to the fuse box. Quite a few spare terminals are available on the fusebox, and if you pull the kick panel out a bit, you can route them correctly so it doesn't look like a hack job.

You'll find wiring grommets suitable for accessories in two places- one up top right where the throttle cable comes out, should have one or two spare circles in it, punch through one of those for your accessory wires. A bit hard to get at from the inside of the car.

The other is all the way to the left, low down just about in front of the hood release. May have a wiring harness in that spot if your car has cruise control.

Look around with a good light from under the dash and you'll find these and other good locations.

In the fuse box, in general, green wires are live all the time and blue or yellow wires are switched. Verify with a voltmeter if you're not sure. Leave a little length on your wiring so you can move it to a different terminal if needed.

Good luck with the project!
