How Do You Guys Do It?

How do you guys get a 12 volt source? do you put a blade type connector on the wire and push it inbetween the fuse and the holder? (i know it is kindof rigged up) basically what i am asking is, what is your method??

If I understand the question, I use cig or ignition unfused spades on the fuseblock, depending upon the application.

I think this is a good question. What if you want to hook up the lighter light or glove box light, and want it to come on with the rest of your interior lights? Then you'd have to connect this to the "pnl lts" fuse, but what's the best way to do this?

I've seen special curved connectors that you can just slide inbetween the fuse and holder, but this doesn't look that clean to me. Any other preferred manner of doing this?

incoma, look on the pic above, under the CL of the word cluster feed.... that terminal is hooked to the dash lights. What ever you plug in there will dim or brightern with the rheostat with the dash lights.

Great. Thanks for pointing that out. I've looked at my fusebox and this picture several times and glossed over that little detail each time.

Absolutely no clue. My trucks are all stock with no added frills (or any frills for that matter). I subscribe to the KISS principal. I never have a question that isn't addressed by the factory GM manuals

I'm sure someone else can help ya though
