Default Fused wiring question

Hi All

Know this is probably a question that has been answered in the past, but could not find it.

Have a 97 Eclipse RS. Previous owner added a number of lights and other electical equipment. His solution for hooking these up was to wrap the wire around the terminal of a fuse. I know that is not the best (or safest) way to do this.

I would like to add a fuse panel. Part is easily available at autopars store, but I need a place to tie it in so it is hooked into the key so they are not on all the time.

How are others doing additional electical equipment?

Find an ACC wire, tap into that, just make sure that the current draw won't be too much for the circuit. Fuse it, switch it, done.
