Are you refering to "Add-A-Circuit??? These are manufactured by Littlefuse and the box has 2 part numbers; FHM200BP and OFHMO200ZP. I used them to hook up my gauge lights and other accessories. You can get them at Pep Boys. They work with the mini fuses in the dash. The box even comes with 4 extra fuses.

i was just looking at the access a fuse site. they said "Make sure that the extended terminal is on the Load side of the fuse panel and not on the Feed side of the fuse panel. Don’t be confused!" when you look in at your fuses and one side has an arrow , is that the feed side ?? thats what im assuming from a pic i found on their site ... scott

That is what they look like. On my 98 the hot side of the fuse is the top leg. You can check it with a volt/ohm meter.
