I think I bought mine at LMC, item 12, can't remember what fuse I used but I am sure I did fuse it.

Re: Cigarette lighter

Yes to making it fused.
I like to run everything through a relay. Less strain on the wiring system and power comes from the battery and not through a switch. I found this great video explaining why relays are safer.

I'm mouting a power socket and a usb port in the glove box. See below for the links to what I bought.
