Ok.... Now rarely do I EVER commend something to anyone but these are an exception. These are conventional blade type fuses with the colour coded plastic caps however within the plastic cap is a teensy weensy LED that comes on only when the fuse has blown. "CaaR" is the brand I found and they cost 99 cents for a pack of 5 so for $5 I was able to buy 5 packs in 10,15,20,25 &30 amp ratings.
You know how it is with fuses, you are either methodical and check them one at a time but Murphys Law is adamant that the last fuse you extract will be the blown one even if you cheat and go to the end of the first row... Oh never mind, these things light up when they are blown so replacement is a snap...
5 gold * for me for being so simple and practical...

what a ripper of an idea,  about time something like this was invented, god knows its hard to hold a torch as well as those little tweeser thingamys, and being upside down too, as it is always in the dark that they blow, thanks for the heads up, I'll keep an eye out for them

See now I can PROVE MY PSYCHIC TRAINING IS WORKING BECAUSE I just KNEW someone would ask where to buy these....
I got them at Dimmeys @ Goulburn so I'd suspect that any of the associated shops may stock them, Go Lo, Warehouse, Crazy Sam's Etc... or you could try and Auto spre parts place but expect the price to be about $2 each
