    I'm in the process of installing the LED under headlight driving lights and was checking out the fuses in the engine compartment fuse box. I'm pretty sure that I removed and replaced one of the 10 amp fuses within the large outlined box in the picture and it might have been the fuse with the smaller outlined box. However, the fuse might be backwards now with the load/draw reversed. The fuse schematic does not show the orientation of the fuses and I looked at some images online that show several different orientations of the fuses. Any thoughts on the correct orientation here?

    Thanks

    Fairly sure you are not supposed to ask a fuse about its orientation in a public forum. Just accept the fuse and move on.

    It doesn't make any difference which way the fuse goes in. They are not directional.

    Thanks for the help Jimmyh! I really appreciate the forum help but some of the responses from certain members leave you wondering why they even respond in the first place.

    My advice would be to ignore them.
