I tied into the fuse block in the engine compartment... I want to say fuse #25, but you need to test those and check (I would run out and check but am deployed, truck is many thousands of miles from here). Can buy one of those cheap little blade fuse tie ins.

Space #40 in the fuse box under the hood...for the cigar lighter...20A
Get one of those double fuse holders with the short piece of wire and butt connector on it from the parts store...

I use the wire that is in the bundle of wires that are by where your left foot rests. I remember it was the pink but I forget what color stripe it was..sorry but it was the same as the cigar lighter closest to the driver. Hope that helps some.
