Exclamation 12v source for led footwells?

Hey guy I'm pretty new here and don't know a whole lot about the wiring and such of trucks so I'm looking for some help. I want to install some led footwell lights on my truck but I'm not sure how to power them? i think the easiest and probably best way to do it would be to use a fuse tap and tap into a constant 12v fuse. I am just not sure which fuse to tap into?? Could I tap into the fuse for the radio and then when the radio comes on my lights will come on? It says on the fuse diagram that the radio fuse is a 5 amp fuse if that makes any difference.

I would really appreciate any help you guys can provide.
Thanks.

The likey hood your leds would pull mor e than 5a is slim to none. Personally I wouldnt want those on all the time while I was driving so I would tap it into the dome circuit so they light up when the doors open or I use the light switch on the dash.

If you want them on all the time however I would suggest that you tap into your panel lights so that the leds come on with the dash lights and you can dim/brighten the lights as yiu see fit. Otherwise the radio acc on wire wilk work for what u wana do.
