Having trouble finding the correct glass fuses for replacing blown ones in 12volt cigarette lighter plugs (for automotive accessories). I seem to have to replace a blown fuse every so often in different accessories ranging from lights to air compressors, but I am having trouble locating the correct size fuses. In the photo attached you can see the size of the fuse I need to replace (which appears to be around 29 - 30 mm) with the size of the fuses that I can purchase at the the local auto parts store (32 mm). The fuses that are available locally are all larger in both diameter and length.

Ideally, I would like to purchase a set with a verity of different amperage ratings since every time I blow one it seems to be a different amperage. I found this set on Amazon, but it states that they are 5 x 20 mm, which I believe is too small for my application.

Amazon.com: Quick Blow Glass Tube Fuse Assorted Kit 100pcs 5x20mm: Home Improvement

Does anybody know where I can get an assortment of this size? :confused:

Any reputable auto parts store should have many different options, Buss, or Littlefuse, come in many configurations. On the other hand, you can install an inline fuseholder for blade type fuses. JMHO
