Default Fuse Lite

This has probably been brought up before but I'll put it out since I think it's a good item to have. I just found these at the local Auto Store fuses that have led
indicators built in to them that let you know what fuse is bad.
Be great in the dark.

:skep:
Come on now....you should know what fuse is out when the accessory tied to it stops working....And it's not that hard to check them anyway. IMO they are for people who are lazy or dumb, and I don't think most of the people here fall into that catagory. Just my opinion though :chevy

Yes I'm smart enough to know that if something is not working that it might be the fuse. It's a lot faster to just glance at the fuse panel and see that the fuse is good than get a flashlight out find the fuse and check to see if it looks open. I have fuses open that appear good to the eye but are
blown. Of course I could also just get out my ohmmeter and check it.
This info was for for people who might want to take advantage of this product.
If they don't want to use them that's their option.

I bought and installed the LED fuses and I think they are an excellent idea. Sometimes it's hard to peer at the fuse block and find the correct fuse location, too. Inside my garage, they stand out well and at night it's a snap to see which fuse is blown and replace it in seconds. The mini-fuses make for a tighter group on the fuse block itself and it can be a bear to squint in there to read the fuse description. Why flame someone over something so basic and simple? I ain't dumb or lazy; just smarter than the a-v-e-r-a-g-e bear, Boo-Boo!
