I thot it could go inside under the dash. It would be to protect the curcuits and have all the 'fixing' in one place! Are some things fused before the bulbs or gage or whatever, and some where it doesn't matter so much? Tks~JH

In the old days they usually did not fuse the headlights or the ignition switch.
The headlight switches had a circuit breaker made into them. If you get a newer style switch, it would have this built into it. But the running lights did have a fuse before it entered the headlight switch(the running lights have their own seperate section to the headlight switch).
Coming out of the ignition switch, the power feeding the coil was usually not fused. But all the other pwer coming out of the ignition switch went to the fuse box. There it fed many different fuses for the radio, heater blower, wiper motor, etc.
Then there is usually another heavy wire coming straight from the battery, feeding another part of the fuse box. All these circuits are power all the time type stuff, like dome lamps, brake lights, hazard lights, etc. And all these had their own fuses.
