+1 if these are nice quality fuses I may pick up a set. Thanks for idea Brett


Hi Adrian :)

Lol...I have so many extra electrics for my Nitrous system, around 20 extra fuses and several high power relays that something is always blowing a fuse , and those illuminated ones are a godsend...

Be careful where you buy them though as prices vary drastically.. some places charge around 90p EACH ! but if you shop around they come down to around 17 to 19p each...

All the best Brett :)

Hi MARK :)

I use these >>>>>>> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ILLUMINATING- ... 53e60ef397

They are ILLUMINATING blade fuses so if one blows the little LED set in the end lights up....they are absolutely brilliant for when something blows a fuse in the dark..you just pull off the fuse board and there is the faulty one glowing away.... I changed all of mine for them, plus all my Nitrous blade fuses, highly recommended :)

All the best Brett :)


Brett, my set turned up yesterday:) what an amazing idea. Going to fit them this evening

Once again THANK YOU!!! it will make the electrics SO much easier

Since ive changed the fuses ive not had any electrical problems, do you think these new fuses are a bit thicker?

Thanks for looking Mark

Hi Mark :)

Not thicker but newer...

I have seen this before with other cars with electrical problems.... if you change ALL the fuses and sometimes relays, for one thing it makes a better contact with the new fuses and maybe just maybe the fuses are slightly better quality...

All the best Brett :)
