I recently blew the accessory outlet fuse (cig lighter type outlet) in my Honda CR-V. I have two Honda's, and figured it was time to get some spare fuses to have on hand. My Honda's use mini low-profile fuses, unlike my previous car that used normal mini fuses.
I stopped by the local automotive store, and their selection of low-profile (LP) mini fuses was limited. I couldn't find a 20-amp LP fuse. So I decided to look on Amazon. I found this variety set of LP fuses for a little more than what the auto store was asking for a small pack of 5 of a single amperage rating. I thought that was a great value! This set comes in a plastic case divided by rating.
I replaced the fuse in my Honda CR-V, the accessory outlet works again. I divided the kit between my two Honda's. It's extremely rare to blow a fuse; it should only happen if something fails (in my case, a cell phone charger shorted out). But it's nice to have on hand as part of an emergency kit, just in case.
It would be nice if the kit came with a fuse puller, but I keep a pair of needle-nose pliers in the car, so not a big deal.

Good spares to have on hand
Update 5/1/17This weekend I got to test my emergency RV tool kit. A boater blew a 15 amp fuse and had a damaged but not blown 30amp fuse. I reached into my emergency tool kit and gave him 4 of each so he would have spares and not get stranded again. I refused any type of compensation he kept offering but caved when he insisted I at least take a beer. With the heat on Sunday I couldn't resist!Original review from 2/11/17Leave a comment if you have any questions and I can either take some photos or give more details.I purchased this larger kit because after checking at some of the local stores it was a much better value.The primary reason I purchased this was so I could add them to my "emergency RV tool kit". After blowing a fuse once at dusk and loosing use of my headlights I always make sure I have spare fuses on hand.I took each size and added them to the kit regardless if my auto or RV took the size. My thought was any fellow campers or travelers in need might benefit from the off sizes I didn't need.I placed some in each size of our cars but left the primary organized box in the tool kit at home.I'm glad I purchased this and the piece of mind they give me. They fit perfect in my tool kit and I circled them in the photo.
