Default Need help finding a fuse.

I am trying to wire in some LED lights that I plan on placing above the driver and passenger floorboard so that when you open the door or turn on the interior lights, they will come on too. I am using a fuse tap rated for 2-10 amps. I know that fuse #24 is what I want, only problem is it is a 15A fuse. My main questions is are there any other fuses that work like fuse #24, coming on when doors are open (interior lights) and going off when the door is closed?

Quick question about the fuse tap as well. I am not an electrician by any means, so this may be a little silly, but the fuse tap is rated for 10A max, but is that just for the accessories (in my case the lights) that are added, meaning that amperage of the other fuse doesn't have to be under 10A or do both fuses have to be 10A or below? Obviously, I think that the latter is correct, otherwise I would have already had it hooked up to the 15A, #24 fuse, but I thought I'd still ask.

Thanks guys!

The lights you are hooking up can't be more than 10A, with led's, that'd be one hell of a lot of lights lol!
Food for thought, why not hook em up to a switch so you can turn them on. Whenever you want too? I got mine wired that way, and its pretty cool just driving with them all on!
