Default Add a Circuit / Tap a Fuse



I am going to get this from Autozone. Does anyone know if this will fit with clearances needed in the engine bay fuse box?

I needed to tap into one of the L or R headlight fuse (fuse # 28 or 29), I am not adding load but just using the tap as sensing / trigger purposes and there is not fuse next to it.

it looks like it makes the fuses lay horizontally. if that's the case, yes it will fit. there are relays taller than the fuses by a couple inches. I would say that the trigger should be wired to a relay. that's what I did for my turning lamps. I tapped into one of the bulbs, cant remember which one, wired it to a relay input. now it turns on my turning lamps all day long.

Thanks, I bought it today and it worked perfectly.
note the adapter has to face one direction because the tap needs to be opposite the hot side, so it works best with the low beam fuse on the right side. I believe it will place both fuses on top of the fuse next to it though, but I prefer a little free space so I picked the right side.
