I just bought some new foglights and instead of tapping into my parking light wire, i bought one of those add-a-circuit things that taps into the fuse. The only problem is that my parking lights use a 15 amp fuse but the add-a-circuit can't use anything higher than 10 amp fuses. I was going to buy a 10 amp to replace the 15 amp but im not sure if this is safe or not. I know there is some kinda rule but i can't remember if it says that you can't use a higher amp fuse for a lower one or lower amp fuse for a higher amp one. Any ideas???

 

You should be fine putting a 15 amp fuse in the add-a fuse

 

in the directions it specifically says "place the original fuse (NOT TO EXCEED 10 AMPS) into slot A..."

 

Just a simple wiring question...i know one of you guys out there knows something...

 

installing tomorow, don't wanna cause a fire...

 

pay 20.00 for a pro to do the wiring. Trust me if you have doubts just let the pro do it cuase if anytihng goes wrong you'll spend alot more replacing lets say... a Multiplex box ahahhaha learned my lesson (80.00 used from a salvage accord \ 350.00 from honda dealer) i was doing some wiring of my own

 

I've done this many times before and never had any problems. This is the first time ive encountered the fuse problem though. The wiring is easy.

 

go ahead and throw in the 10amp fuse. The worse that can happen is that the fuse will blow.
