Default one dumb choke question

i am gonna throw this out there. where do most of you get power to your choke from? i have a wire run to the fuse block, but it is hard to tap into the fuse block without bubbaing it. i have tried to tap onto a fuse connection but it is hard to piggy back one of those glass fuses. sorry for the really dumb and basic question, but i am getting a bit tired of the wire falling off the fuse block effectively killing my choke....

The 12 V side of the ballast resistor is a good connection point.

Yes, and that (12V) is the bottom terminal.
