fuse box would be the simplest way in my opinion . Also you can tap in and use the cigaret lighter wirring.

I extended the relay coil wire to a empty space, added a relay and used the main battery feed.

At the wheel arch drivers side there is a purple wire taped to the loom with a 1/4 spade terminal on it this is live on pos 2(red lights) you can use this to drive a relay at your battery it is only rated at 1 amp so is ok to operate a relay do not try to drive any load other than a relay with it!!!
