    Can someone verify if what im doing is right? Got the add a fuse from pepboys with a 10amp fuse. Is there supposed to be another fuse connected to that empty slot in the pic? I took out the 10amp fuse in the engine fuse box but it wont fit into the add a fuse.

    Also how big of a ground terminal are you guys using? 1/2 or 3/8?

    Thank you

    I didn't. My 4 lights draw less than 1 amp total. I have an add-a-fuse on the INJ fuse, with a 2 amp fuse serving the grill lights.

    Has anyone simply ran wiring to the dash and installed a switch to turn them on and off?
