Ignition Switched Live Feed

Hi

Does anyone know where there is one that I can tap into to power a couple of gadgets? I want to hard wire them in but only want them powered when the ignition is on.

Thanks

Jon

Passenger side fusebox, F5. You may have to buy a 'mini blade' or there may be one there.

You can get a mini blade fuse with a wire attached as a power take off, without tapping into the wiring.
I made my own but it was a little fiddly.

Thanks everyone - all sorted and wired in now.

Those circuit extenders are excellent for this type of thing! They are available on fleabay too.
