My radar detector failed to turn on a few days ago. After checking all the connections I realized the 12 volt power cable’s inline fuse was blown. Replacing the fuse is easy. The hardest part is reading the fuse type from the small cap of the blown fuse.

I bought a Fast-Blow Glass Fuses Assortment Kit ( https://amzn.to/3ByCCQJ ) which had the fuse i needed to replace. A kit like this will last me 5 years or more as i have many 12 volt devices and accessories in my car or home appliances with these fuse in the appliance. They are common in 30 mm and 20 mm length.

Replacement is very easy, Simply remove the power cable, unscrew the top cap. Read the type and size of the fuse. Replace with exactly the same glass fuse. Put back together. Test. Recycle to blown fuse according to local disposal regulations.

Overall knowing how to repair and replace fuses is very useful and can save you from buying a new appliance. I normally get a blown fuse from an appliance every 2- 3 years, so having a fuse kit is very convenient if you are a home owner or car owner.

REVIEW: Car Interior LED Lights USB Powered – 2 YEARS LATER…

About two years ago I about this Viden Car LED lights with remote and powered by USB ( https://amzn.to/3uaLFVj ). I wanted to add more ambient lights to my foot wells, glove box, and storage areas in my car at night.

The tried 12 volt LED car lights which are brighter but run very warm. The main reason to buy USB 5volt over 12v was that it was simple easier to get power from the car USB port or 12 volt usb chargers. The USB version also runs cooler than the 12 volt versions.

The USB ambient lights has plenty of light. I mounted them in in my front foot well, glove box, and under my dash storage for more light to find stuff at night. The install was simple and every thing still works after 2 years.

The only problem was the adhesive. The Viden Car LED lights (https://amzn.to/3uaLFVj ) glue released after 2 months in the summer heat. I replaced them with 3M Automotive Super Strength Molding Tape ( https://amzn.to/3o9hNYs ) and it has stayed on for over 18 months.

The 3M Molding Tape ( https://amzn.to/3o9hNYs ) is an self sticking high heat resistant adhesive foam tape for automotive applications but I always keep a roll handy for other projects that rely need good adhesion. It can be used for car interior trim panels, body side molding, emblems and mounting other light duty items.

Overall, I am very happy with the Viden USB powered Car LED lights with ( https://amzn.to/3uaLFVj ) as they turn on when the car powers up and it has a memory of the last color scheme used. So its set and forget.
