Led Glow interior car lights. What fuse?
Hi I just purchased led glow interior lights for my jeep Cherokee sport. The only problem I have an add-a-fuse connected to the red (positive) wire, and I have grounded the black (negative) wire to bare metal in the car. The only problem I am having is hooking it up to the right fuse. What fuse should I plug the add-a-circuit to? I don't know what will give it a sufficient amount of power.

the fuse does not provide any more power to the leds, it simply protects it from short circuiting, the higher amp rating the more amperage is needed to break the fuse, therefore, if you have an electronic that draws a lot of amperage you need a higher amp fuse so it does not open the circuit when operating normally. Because leds draw low amps about 1-2 depending on length and purpose, something around 5-10 amps will be just fine. Dont go higher than that, if you do and your leds short circuit youll be buying a new set of leds instead of a new $0.25 fuse

With a fuse in the red wire, you can hook it directly to some unfused 12 V supply.

You can pull any fuse, the add-a-fuse gets connected to the hot side of the fuse. i.e., pull a fuse, find out which tab of the fuse holder has the 12V on it, connect it to that side. You kids and your frikkin' LED lighting...
