For a variety of reasons, I really didn't want to power all my devices using daisy-chained cigarette lighters and decided to wire the dashcam to the fuse box. I had heard about these "add a circuit" doohickey's and thought I'd try one (rather than shove the bare wire under the fuse).Very easy - I had already pulled the necessary wires, so it was a matter of attaching the wires to this and a ground and plugging in.Price is good, a fraction of the big name guys. One note - I learned the hard way that there are Mini, low profile mini, and micro size fuses (and, more than that). My first purchase was the wrong one, fortunately, it was readily accepted back.I think these are a very good buy - convenient, well made, even includes the fuse you need.

Quality is good but this was not what we needed.Hubby asked me to buy him a mini fuse tap that would accept a 15 amp fuse.We looked at this design and also this item and this design.Notice the design of the plug I'm writing my review for has a black plastic piece in between then 2 blades. The black piece of plastic is not removable.This is not the design we wanted and it's totally my fault that I did not notice this. So I'm writing my review based on the quality of the product and price point which is good.This did not work for our application (wiring a edge unit in our Dodge).I'm hoping to save someone the time and expense of ordering the wrong item.I purchased this at full price. My opinions are my own and I was not compensated in any way for my thoughts.

Worked well - used it to hard wire a dash cam. Only (slight) drawback was that inserting the fuse was pretty difficult as it bound on the contacts no matter how I angled it. Not a big deal - put a tiny dot of grease on the tip of each blade and used linesman pliers to press it in. FWIW, the mini fuse from my truck had no such issue, so it may be more about the supplied fuse than the holder itself. Again, not a concern - the holder works quite well. Would definitely buy again.

I am definitely not a car guy, but this worked great. The included fuse for the new circuit is 5A. It would have helped to know how easy it would be to attach the other end for the new circuit; it is an auto style butt connector which you crimp. I crimped too hard (I know, pliers are not crimpers) and cut the wire, so I used my preferred method of solder and shrink wrap. Check your fuse type first as there are a few types. I used this one on my new Honda for a permanent dashcam.

I recently got some LED daytime running light bezels for my Scion FRS (BRZ twin). The instructions are pretty bad for the LEDs but after online research, I discovered that (1) my FRS use low profile mini fuses, and (2) there was a 12v ACC fuse that I can tap with this add a circuit. I was able to plug this in the IG2 fuse. You'll have to plug the original fuse into the side of this tap closest to the metal prongs. Then plug the included new fuse closest to the wire and you're set. I had to cut a hole in my fuse box for this to fit though. Overall, got this DIY job done thanks to this. Alternatively I would have had to splice wires or run wires through the firewall into the cabin to tap a 12v car charger wire. This, add a circuit is safer and easier than they latter option.

Used this Lumision add a circuit to hardwire my dash cam to a 12V constant power. My 15' Camry's fuse box requires low profile mini fuses & thus this was a perfect device for my application. I ended up cutting off the preinstalled "butt connector" and soldering on a 16 AWG wire leading back to the hardwire kit I got for the dash cam.I also got the for comparison & in my honest opnion, they are about the same quality. I did notice the "head" of the Lumision was slightly shorter & thus fit perfectly into my fuse box.

I bought this to tap into my brand new 2014 F150's fuse block to power the Bully Dog GT I bought from Amazon. Since my truck's fuse block is all ATT type fuses I figured this was the right match. At no fault of the tap it did not fit into the fuse block :-(. The problem is the design of the Ford's fuse block; it sets the ATT fuses deep into the fuse block. There is a bit of a shoulder around the fuse which kept this ATT fuse tap from even reaching the power terminals, useless. The problem was I was hitting the road in a couple of days and I waited a week and a half for the tap to arrive and it did not work and my brand new truck was half torn apart and the Bully Dog was not working unless you reached though the knee bolster opening under the steering wheel and turned it on and as needed. The idea... I compared the ATT type fuses from the truck with some ATM type fuses I had on hand. Long story short("ened"). The ATM type fuses simply have longer blades that and not have a plastic bridge between them like the ATT type fuses and I was able to plug a ATM type fuse into the fuse block... there's nothing in the manual about this, just a discovery of mine. Fortunately the ATM type fuse taps are available at my local auto parts store which of course I test fitted in the fuse block and checked with a test light before I connected the pigtail to the Bully Dog which I had not done with the ATT type fuse tap. It has worked just fine since. Conclusion: you may need to use the ATM type fuse tap in a ATT type fuse slot because of the longer blades.

There is no circuit description or drawing with these adapters. They function well once one did find out which fuse is for what circuit. However, they are rather bulky and do not fit into recessed fuse positions. It would be way better, if the wire came out of the top than the side.
