Where should I wire things to give them power?

Hey,
I own a 92 Rs 3.1.
Where should things like interior lights, a digital clock/compass/Outside temp guage, a Ham radio, radar detector.. etc be wiried from the fuse box?
How should they be connected without the worry of a fire starting in the car, and my interior burning to the ground with me inside?? Thanks for your help!

Daniel

I would have a wire direct from the battery to a "new" fusebox and then take all the power from there. That way you don't have to mess up the org.wirering, and its easy to remember what youve done.
