[DML] Re: 3rd Brake Light Wiring

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You want to use one that is small enough that it will blow when it has
to but large enough to carry the load of the 3rd light. 5 amps should
be fine. Go to the auto store and buy an "inline fuse". Cut out a
short piece of wire and replace it with the inline fuse. Remove the
fuse that it comes with and insert a 5 amp fuse.
