To pull power off of a fuse, I used a fuse tap.

Its just the little brass piece. It goes in with the fuse and has a blade connector on the end.

The dash is plastic but there are some metal infrastructures, which are great for grounding things too. Also don't forget to use resistors when installing LED or you will blow them.

Like said above, use the metal under the dash to ground to and you should be fine.
