Dimmer Splice good idea bad idea?

what I'm planning is to run my L.E.D.s off the dimmer switch so I'm going to splice in to it and use that as my source. now I've been trying to decide if i should put a switch in that little glove box thing on the drives side or a fuse and if running it through that dimmer would give it the same effect as the dash and window light off during day on at night? I like the protection a fuse gives me over the convenience of a switch. Now for the second topic I put LEDs in my door handles that run of the same power lines as my window switch lights and I want the new LEDs to match up with the way they light up when I unlock my car and only turn on with the auto lights. Any ideas.

In theory this would be cool... I dunno if that'd be wise or not, haven't dug into my car yet. Down the road I want to install LEDs under the dash and want them to dim out with the overhead light, but I'll ask that question when I come to it. :P

I haven't done that, but I did run mine from the ignition and put a surface mount toggle switch in the driver side glove box. That part was easy, just drill or cut a whole the size of the switch and run the wires. Good luck, post pics when you're done!
