Connection to fuse block

I have an '86 4x2 f150 that I installed driving lights with a power relay. I installed a new power block for the lights; but, wanted to run the switch power thru the original power block accessory/run buss.(That way if the key is off - the lights will be off even if the switch is "on") I have several unused fuse spots; however, I couldn't figure out how to connect to the back of the fuse block. What type of connector do you use?

Thanks for the help

Go to your napa store and ask for a fuse tap. It's a little metal piece that will slip around one of your fuses, and give you a place to hook up your wiring with a spade connector. I don't know if you can power any of the dead, unused spots in your fuse box. The fuse tap would be used on an existing fuse in the box.
