[MENTION=14128]Edwin[/MENTION] is the link for that particular fuse the right fuse to use for fuse #1? I ordered it and it won't fit properly. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

I hate to say it but no, I should have linked you to a Micro2 add a circuit. I don't know why I gave you a link to a Mini. I'm sorry for that. That's not the right size. The fuse that you want to use is a micro2 not a mini.

You guys might have it figured out already but if you buy a Mini add-a-circuit and a 10 amp fuse you can use that to connect your LEDs to the passenger side fuse box. Fuse #1 works well as its 12v switched. That's how I have my kit from LEDGlow installed. There's also a couple places near that fuse box to use as a ground location.

I'm mid-install now and having a heck of a time reaching those two ground locations (seen below). Any advice besides using a socket wrench that bends which I don't have?



Are there any other ground locations nearby?

I used a rather large bolt back towards the door that was holding on some sort of metal bracket. Also, I have since switched to fuse #36. My Led kit was turning off for me on fuse #1 when I shut the car off but apparently that source isn't actually switched. So I swapped it to #36 which does shut off when the car is turned off.

I finally accessed those grounds next to the fuse box but I have a new issue. The 'add a fuse' which came attached to these lights doesn't fit into any of these fuse slots? All of the bigger fuses in this compartment have 3 prongs. The 'add a fuse' has 2 as you can see. The ones that are two prongs are smaller than this so they don't fit into those slots either. Do they make other size 'add a fuse' connectors? Do I need to make a new 'add a fuse' to correct the issue I'm assuming?

That looks a lot like a mini sized add a circuit to me. You need a micro 2 add a circuit to make it work. The fuse you want to use is the blue 15 that's the second one down from the top on the right side. So you need one that's that size. (Micro 2)

Thanks. Since that fuse is 15amps I need to make sure the add a circuit is the same correct? I'm about to head out to either Fry's or an auto parts store and grab one. I appreciate the help.

THe add a circuit may not come with a fuse. So you may need to pick up another fuse that is the same amp as the one that came with your lights but in a micro 2 size. It looks like a 5 amp from your pick. So you'll probably need a 5 amp micro 2 along with the new add a circuit. You'll plug that in to the circuit along with the 15 amp that you'll pull from the cars fuse box.

Thanks a lot for your help Edwin. They are installed and look great.

Of course now I want to do what the person did inside this thread by putting a strip along the top section of the dash so I'm not really done I guess.
