Nice

Nothing worst than looking up under a dark dash at the fuse box

Thought about them, expensive tho, and with the fuse box being behind that stupid steel plate do they help enough?

14 bucks for 36 minis or 42 regular flat fuses does not seem expensive to me.
For me, it just makes things easier and as I get older, that is what I like.
The ability to just look rather than poke around is well worth it to me.
I started off just putting them in the "critical systems" first and will now put them in all the rest .
Also just think if something happens (especially at night" and you can just use a glance to see if there is a blown fuse.
FYI: you can also but bulk in the size you need rather than buy an assortment package. but the assortment packages are cheaper per fuse

Remember they cost more than conventional ones is all, had to deal with one that I don't want to do again, there needs to be a tool for those tiny terrors, when I go to the store I may look into buying some, my luck is terrible, the ones that go are in the top out of view.

I use needle nose pliers.
Buying them in a store is crazy. 30 bucks vs. 14 for the exact same package
