Where to connect Aux outlets?

Question

My `04 Ranger has 2 power outlets, both are on full time. I have several things that need to be plugged in, and that I would like to come on and off with the ignition. Anybody have ant thoughts as to where to make connections with an after market outlet multiplier (cigarette light X 3). I do not want to cut any wires. I have enough slack to get it to the fuse box, but do not know what to do with these little itty bitty fuses in these newer cars. Do they make connectors to tap into these things like they do the standard bus fuses? Might I get power from empty sockets for options that I do not have? Hope it will not be too cold or wet tomorrow to get in there and take a look, but suggestions would be welcome.

I just tried the fuse taps for these little buss fuses. They do not do me any good because the fuse panel is too tight. I tried to put a fuse in with a tap in place, all I succeeded in doing was expanding the connections at the panel. Had to get in there with a little screw driver and jimmy them back into shape.Not any room to do anything else at the fuse panel, at least not for me. I have to be an acrobat just to be able see the fuses head-on.Have to find a good electrician, there are several things I want to do with this Ranger that I am not willing to did into myself.

Yep, they sure do.  My speedo recalibrator uses a tap off the hot sideof one of those little fuses.  I picked the tap up at the local partsstore.
