Default Dome light relay

Hi there. I'm trying to wire up some lights. LED's and Cold Cathodes underneath my seat. I'm trying to find the relay for the dome light. Because when I open my car, the car alarm turns on the dome light too. So.....

Where is the dome light relay?
I'm going to add more lights later. I want to add an accesory fuse box just for other things. (Just small LED's and such) Where can I find these??? (fuse box)

If you know exactly where it is on a 96 Accord EX coupe, tell me. I would gladly appreciate it. If you know approx. where I would appreciate that too.

I don't believe the ceiling/dome light has a relay. The door switch triggers the dome light on/off, unless you have the dome light switch off. When you open the door, you will see the door switch; which has a black rubber cover. Under the black rubber cover, it is held in place by a philips screw.

If you wanted to add an auxiliary fuse box, those usually could be found in auto part stores, or electrical shops.

Sorry if it's not a relay. But you know how some car alarms turn on the domelight when you press unlock. And when you open the door, the light comes on too. So I want to tap into that programming because I want the lights to come on when I open a door or when I unlock something.

Sorry for being a noob but electrical shops such as???

I'm pretty sure most auto parts supply stores carry auxiliary fuse box/blocks.

Peps Boys online site shows they carry the Hella brand, if you do a parts search on their site.

Here are a few links regarding auxiliary fuse box/blocks:

Did you ever find the answer to this issue? I'm in the same predicament.
