Hardwiring a V1

Not gonna lie. This is probably super easy but I need help.

My V1 came with a direct wire as shown below. This has a 2A inline mini fuse. I got a fuse tap from Autozone. I crimped a connector to the fuse tap so it can easily join with the direct wire. Pics 1 & 2

Now, I opened my fuse box and there are several open slots. Can you take a look and answer these questions?

1) Do I plug into an open or used slot?
2) Which slot should I use? I often hear people say the cigarette lighter but I can't tell based on the included diagram.
3) If I tap into a used slot, do I move that fuse into the fuse tap and still leave the 2A inline fuse in the direct wire?

I hope that's clear enough.

Thanks in advance!
