Electrical Questions

This seems obvious but I want to check before I make assumptions. I bought the Honda Talon Under Hood “Keyed On” 40AMP Power Bus Bar- By TurnPro from the Club store along with a fuse box . That limits me to 40 amps of maximum draw total for the fuse box before it blows the inline fuse on the keyed on bus bar right?

Correct. 40 amps is the max

I was afraid of that... I bought some Alien Lasers which have a 30 amp inline fuse.
(my electrical knowledge is high enough that I just get into trouble so please correct any inaccuracies)

1. If I wire them to the fuse box there is a very high chance of blowing that 40 amp fuse when I run them and other accessories at the same time, so this is not a good idea.

2. I want these to be key on power so they don't accidentally get left on, but that's not possible with the current setup.

3. I could wire them to the battery but I would have to get key on power for the rocker switch illumination or it would be illuminated all the time.

Is my thinking correct for 1, 2 and 3?

If so, does anyone have a few suggestions on best course of action?
