original car fuse?

is there such a thing as original car fuse (those colored fuses)? it's more expensive than those common cheap ones but less prone to melting?

OEM fuses or the surplus one OK compare mo yung 2 feet ng fuse mapapansin mo na mas makapal yung mga surplus

Fuses are designed to trip at a certain amp. If they trip at a lower amp, the quality might be suspect.

But if they trip at a higher amp, it doesn't mean they are of better quality. Remember, fuses are designed to be weak links. They destroy themselves to save more expensive components. If you keep blowing fuses up, it might be time to have that particular area in your electrical system checked out.

indeed. but with a prescibed amp. fuse that will just melt the plastic, yet the link doesn't break?

think one of the possible reason is a loose connection or weak plastic that cant stand the heat!

just encoutered this when i switch to higher watts ng headlamp,the fuse just keep on melting! then got an idea to change the socket type to a glass type and now still working without worries

thanks, that's a good idea. but I believe the fuse holder should be those plug attached by screws. because I had use one before, those fuse holder wrapped in plastic casing... they still melt...
