Rain Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Hi Preee (or anyone else) Out of curiosity, where did you stash the fuse holder with the fuse. Did you stash it behind the radio? If the fuse would happen to blow, would this mean that you would have to remove some panels etc. Is the main idea of the fuse to act as a safety net, in case there is a spillage that would cause a electrical short?

Preee Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 Yes just a safety net , but regarding spillage after i drilled the holes and fitted the led's i used clear sealant to fill the holes from the front so the led's are protected. i fitted the fuse , so it lines up under the gear lever surround , so if it did blow i can get to it easily just by popping up the surround with my finger nails.

Rain Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Better safe than sorry. It does make sense. I couldn't find any 3 amp ones on eBay. I could look around locally but I'm not aware of any good electrical shops in my area (closest one I could think of is probably B&Q). The lowest amp that I could find was http://www.ebay.co.u...=item4160a7a713 which is actually good deal by looking at it. Would this be any good? For future general knowledge as well I gotta ask this question. If any fuse holder is sold for specific amp, does this mean that they genuinely take only certain fuse (i.e. you simply can not chuck in 3 amp fuse into 5 amp holder. Sorry I'm still finding my way in any modding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preee Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 you can always go less , i would not go higher than is rated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 you can always go less , i would not go higher than is rated Thanks, thats good to know. Am I OK to go with the 5 amps for this mod or should really go lower just to be safe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preee Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 5amp should be fine , if you can't find a 3amp fuse , you can always use a different fuse holder and go as low as you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Better to be safe than sorry. I bought 5 x 3amp for a £1 from eBay. I think it's a steal :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAZ91 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Hello everyone! Sorry to bring this back up after such a long time. I've looked for fuse holders but I have no idea what it's supposed to be :-P Could anyone post a link to what I actually need? Much love!

jeebowhite Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 inline fuseholder is the best variety. This is basically the same shape as the holder that supports your Festoon bulbs in your map lights / interior lights / number plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAZ91 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 So will this one be ok? http://bit.ly/17XUnE4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAZ91 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 So lights have arrived will be cracking on the weekend. Does the fuse need splicing to the LIVE wire? silly question im pretty sure it does but would like reasurance haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAZ91 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 ALso Do i splice Live to the orange + white and Neutral to one of the Black + white? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 A fuse should always go into the live side of a circuit in case of short circuits. Live to orange/white, earth to black/white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
