Fuses that light up when blown - anyone used them?

[FlipFlopGriff]

Thinking of changing to these but not sure how long they light up for and if that then draws juice and will cause more problems than just a blown fuse.
At the moment they seem too good to be true and would assist in easy identification of which fuse has blown. Cyurrnely its a guess game or count along the fuse board which ain't easy stuffed deep in the passenger footwell.
They are about 70p each compared with less than 10p for conventional fuses but appear to be a good buy.
They should do them for relays too.

Why not use the pop up circuit breaker ones. They are easy to identify and can be reset?

used them for a year or so FFG. no probs.

except I forgot to tell the guy who looked after the car and he sh1t himself when he looked in the footwell, figureing something was about to burn!

very useful in a dark footwell!

Will get some ordered then. I have had 4 or 5 go in 3 years - much easier if you can see in the footwell which one has gone.
