ive got a set of footwell neons and flashing door pins wired to a Single-point on the fuse box which is always live.... its one of the 10pins of the diagnostic plug.....
should i run a fuse of this live feed or is it already fused???
if yes what amp fuse should i use for ALL the lights i got?
or should i hav seperate fuse for each live feed??

Is it working without a fuse?
If you use a fuse for neons and pins about a 20 should be ok

a 20 amp fuse!!!!! 
neons should take no more than about 500mA and the led door pins about 30mA each. If you put a 20A in u may as well not put one in a at all cuz if they go faulty, they will pull too much current and will blow up before the fuse anyway!!!!
ull only need about a 1A fuse mate

will a 1A fuse even be low enough though??
the door pins have a single 3mm led in each one and draw very little current, the neons probly a bit more so 1A should be fine for those?
not sure about the door pins though?
or would it be better to wire the door pins and neons to the same live feed and fuse? to make sure only the fuse blows in case of a short?
