problem with instrument cluster fuse

Ok, i have been trying to install footwell lighting in my 2001 cl and tapping into the instrument cluster fuse so they turn on with the headlights
1- for some reason the leds wont light up
2- i took out the instrument cluster fuse and the instrument cluster still lights up! Ive been taking out the #9 fuse[second column 3rd one down, 9.5 amp]
i have no idea why its like this and im assuming the lightings not working when i turn on the headlights because its the wrong fuse but that doesnt seem to be the case..help?

the headlight and taillight fuse are in the main fusebox though right? i was looking to use the passenger or driver side fusebox mainly because its easier to wire, i wouldnt know how/where to push the wire inside the cabin from the main fusebox. I'm probably going to buy a add-a-circuit tomorrow and try this again im just confused because the gauges and instrument cluster still lit up when i took the fuse out
