You can probably do that and it should not be a problem for the computer. However, it may be too much extra load on the circuit and cause the fuse to keep blowing or even damage that circuit. Honestly, I would not mess with it.

Thank you HEYMAN for your reply i appreciated.

i think i will not do it, but even if i connected via fuse extension still it will effect the circuit?
Sorry if i ask too much but i like to have ambient lighting but i do not want any outside wiring. i thought i can make it look like factory.

Yes even with that extension it would still be pulling the extra necessary power through that circuit. Personally, it is not something I would play around with.
