Default Where to get ign switched power for relay

hi i am currently installing 2 relays for aux lighting on my 2004 Chevy blazer. I ran into a dead end when i was looking for switched power for the relays. Where is the best place to find it? How much power do these relays use for switched power? I was thinking about pulling the switch power from the radio but was not sure if it would pull to much power. Is there easier way, i really don't want to be going around cutting up wires. Please help

I like using the dash fuse block. I think it was first two columns of fuses are constant power, the rest are with the ignition. Look through my build thread, there's pictures of how I did it with my locker wiring.

Default I found switched power for lights

I ended up finding switched power so when i turned on my dash lights with headlight switch or they turned on automatically. I ended up pulling power form the light in the ash tray. in the ash tray their is a small light that i spiced into. so if you are looking for switched power with light this is where to go.
