Default Anyone using their spade connector thingies?

I was wondering if anyone uses spade connectors to tap into the extra slots that sit above their dash fuses? i'm pretty sure they're called spade connectors, or spade something.....but for those who aren't familiar with this term or if im completely wrong, i'm talking about the extra spots that are all in row above the regular fuses. where can i find the ends that fit into these slots? i've spliced too many wires and have too many lines running thru my firewall and i've decided that i want to try to use one of these spots instead to keep my wiring clean. thanks alot

you need female spade connectors.. they can be bought at any autoparts store, walmart, and stereo shops.. they slide over the male connector..

I used the 2nd slot for my oe-style foglights and it's hot only when the dash lights are on.

I normally tap at the battery. I never tap at the fuse box.

Man, some people are just helpless ...........they are like 14-16 or 16-18 gauge spade connectors.......their cheap, buy a few kinds and figure it out, you can always use the ones that don't work for something else...........it's not like you're gonna break the bank if you get the wrong ones
