Fuses Question

So i was about to do the fog light 2 mod, and i went and got all the parts suggested in the dyi.

now this is where i kick myself for not looking at the fuse box first. Since i'm use to GM cars i went a bought a larger ATC type add a circut.. So i was wondering if there was anthing that exists that would convert this larger ATC type fuse into the smaller ATM mini fuses that acura's use, or am i screwed and just need to go and buy the add a circuit made for mini fuses?

and yeah i know i was a when it came to preparing for this mod.

the back side of the drivers side fuse panel has 4 spots that will accept a female butt conector. simply plug it in there and run a inline fuse. (its something like 2 are switched, 1 is constant and 1 is on with headlights)

Thought I had mentioned it was a MINI add-a-circuit. You should be able to return it and get the MINI one or at least the auto stores around here.

Try to exchange it or if you have an inline fuse just find an item that is still HOT while cranking. If you dont mind the fogs shutting off while you crank then, you can tap the ACC line. Just put a diode there cause if the fogs are on and your radio is on. You can shut the car off and pull the key and both those items will be on still.
