why do you want led's in your fuse box?
for an answer let us know where you plan on mounting the led's and how and why

hmm... I think I know what you mean. Your looking for an inline fuse. Nothing to do with the fuse box. You need a fuse that you can tap into a wire, allowing for a fuse to be connected to that power source. No Need, If your running under dash led's or neons. Just wire then to the power outlet/cig lighter, it is already fused. It will work.

ok so this is basicaly what i want to 2 im going 2 connect 2 blue leds so they light the footwells and im going to connect them on a switch and then i was planing on going to the fuse box because i really dont want to connect it 2 the cig adapter power i would rather have it independent basically whats the easyist way i can do this

it'll be just as good if you go to the lighter. It'll be better then trying to mess with the fuse box. It will be independent. And Always active if the car is on.

Only thing about this though, I think it wouldn't work if the car is off. Hmm.

Actually... Now that I think of it.. I don't think there is a wire you can wire it to that will allow it to always be on... Besides the dome light.

well you could wire them directly to the battery... or headlights... or to the dome light if you want them to work almost constantly... you best bet though i splicing in the cig lighter this way you never accidentaly leave them on

thats why i was gunna connect to the fuse box because i want them to turn off with the car and i dont want to cut and wires

so you rather solder the wires to you fuse box then to cut the wire to the cig lighter

no he could solder it to the fuse tap and plug it in, i talked to him bout it and his ideas will work

I connected them with my headlights, so when I turn on my lights at night they come on at the same time.

I'm wondering how I'm going to wire mine up now... I think wiring them to the battery would be cool, cause it could be on when I'm parked. But whats the point? I don't know... I gotta figure out what I wanna do.

A good source for a low current, constant voltage is at the headunit connections. (which can be tricky on the Civics)

You should try to install smaller value in-line fuses on all work done.
