I notice that your sign-off message is,

Isn't your desire for fuses in the headlight circuit at odds with this
philosophy? Doesn't knowing that your headlamp circuit is perfectly free
to melt down without protection add to the spice of the lbc experience?
How many Honda owners have experienced an exploding headlight switch? And
recognize this--fuses won't keep the lights on; they may still go out at
the worst possible time. All you will accomplish is to keep the wires
intact if a short occurs between the fuse and the lights.
If you put the fuses in, I recommending changing your sig to "Better safe
than sorry."
Please note: implied or virtual smileys scattered throughout the above.
I don't honestly advocate fixing your brake lines with aluminum foil and
epoxy, either.
