Tapping into Spare Circuits

I am trying to make some electrical mods to my 23 XLT and I see that interior circuits 13 and 25 are marked as spares, there are also other circuits that are for options that my truck does not have, e.g. power tailgate, etc. Since the fuse panels is sealed, how can I access these circuits? Is there a connector attached to them somewhere? I would prefer circuit 13 at 7.5A since the load I am looking at is about 65W, any help here would be appreciated.

I assume you did not opt for up fitters ?

No up fitters, and they are for external items, I am adding additional usb outlets to the cab.

I found that a lot of the "spare" slots don't have any connections on them. I suppose that can vary but I just put a fuse tap on to run my extra USBs, dash cam, etc. Just figure out what type of fuse you want to tap so you get the right size fuse tap (one that matches the type of fuse you will tap into).

Here is an example... Here is an example...
