[DML] Re: Brake Lights

["p12c16" <PRC1216@xxxxxxx>]

The same thing happened to me, except that fuse melted the entire
holder and made me think my car was on fire when I was driving that
day.  Putting a 25A fuse back in is WAY WAY overkill.  I spliced in a
blade fuse holder and have been running a 5A fuse for over 6 months
with no problems whatsoever.  This is the route that I would go.
