fuses
Some of you may remember I installed indiglo gauges a while back. I forgot to ask until now...do I have to install a fuse for this?

An inline fuse could never hurt.
The way that I installed my guages was this: I simply pulled power from one of the bulbs on the back of the guage cluster. Probably not the best way to do it, but it was already powered up.

I also used the bulb from the back of the cluster as a power sorce. But I really dont know what fuses are. I dont know if its important to "fuse" something. Can someone help me on this topic?
I just saw on another forum saying that you should fuse your stuff so you dont have a fire or short circuit or something....anyone? |
