Question about add a fuse orientation

[adrencg]

I'm hooking up the Raptor lights on my grille and wanted to make sure I piggyback it correctly into the fusebox. Looking down at the engine compartment fusebox standing on the driver's side of the car, would the add a fuse "out" wire be pointing towards me, or toward the other side of the car? I want to be sure I have the 12v side in the correct port.

I believe there's no orientation with fuses or add-a-fuses. Can go in either way, whichever is best for your wire management.

That’s not true at all. If you put the add-a-circuit in the wrong way, you can have the new circuit on the hot side, leaving you with no fuse protection. You can test this by attaching a test light to the add-a-circuit with the fuse removed. If the light comes on with no fuse, it’s in the wrong way.

My bad. Fuses don't have orientation, fuse taps do. Here's a helpful video.

Thanks for the help, guys.

Good luck actually getting the wire out of the fuse box

I got tired of trying to figure out the fuse box to get the Raptor grille lights working. I did have some success hooking the fuse tap into the headlight port of the fuse box, but the lights stayed on all the time, even with the car off.

I ended up tapping into the parking light wire. Ended up being much easier.

Does anyone know what the fuse tap orientation should be here? Which way is correct for the fuse tap, i was using 22 as the tap in from the 360 Camera, which works well, but not sure what way the fuse tap should go? Anyone know off hand, as I do not have volt meter currently.
