Default Whats the best fuse to connect LEC Strip lights to to come stay on as running lights

I'm doing a search but thought I'd throw out the question anyway. Any suggestions on which fuse to wire some LED strip lights to act as running lights? Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

You can find both switched and unswitched 12V at the rear of the under hood fuse box on studs you can connect a feed to.
( remove the top cover, then the inner cover, disconnect the negative battery terminal before fooling around in there )
I would use this and install an in-line fuse of your choice.

Thanks. I ended up finding the previous threads on this and followed the instructions there. I installed and in line fuse and connected to the hot terminal in the fuse box. Installed and working well. Thanks for getting back with me on this. I posted pics in the "What did you do to your crossfire today" thread. They look good.


Cheers.

I prefer Chartreuse. Hard color to find, but those blue 15Amp ones are so common and boring.





(Got halfway thru my headlight restoration and it started to rain. Only rain within 100 miles, no rain on radar when I got the car out of storage - I'm kinda bored.)
