This is the one of the only circuit that really needs to have a fuse added
to it on the Healey.
Install an inline fuse holder on the back of the headlight switch on the
RED wire. This will fuse the tail lights, dash lights and front marker
lights.
The only other circuits that you may need to add a fuse to would be the
white wire going to the fuel pump, you can install it where the harness goes
under the car just behind the rear carburettor.
DO NOT fuse the headlights unless you fuse each individual light, left
low beam, right low beam, left high beam, right high beam.

Subject: [Healeys] fuse box
having seen a couple of wiring harnesses fried from shorts in the rear light
circuits, I highly recommend fusing the tail light, license plate light and
brake lights. seems stuff rolling around in the boot/trunk will eventually
wear through the wiring and smoke escapes rapidly. if you check the trunk
faithfully, no problem. watch for the loss of the little grommet for the
license plate light. very costly if gone. have I fused my cars? of course
not. will get to it one day.
