When a fuse pops on a Saturday afternoon, you'll be glad you have spares.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 × 8-amp ceramic torpedo fuses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 × 16-amp ceramic torpedo fuses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1955-1979 VW Beetle \/ Super Beetle (all stock fuse boxes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1955-1979 VW Type 2 Bus \/ Transporter \/ Kombi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1956-1974 Karmann Ghia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1962-1973 VW Type 3 Notchback \/ Squareback \/ Fastback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1973-1974 VW Thing (Type 181)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAftermarket EMPI fuse boxes (P\/N 16-9466) and most other modular European-style fuse panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout These Fuses\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAir-cooled VWs use the European torpedo-style ceramic fuse — not the modern blade or glass-tube fuses found on later vehicles. They're roughly 25mm long with a metal cap on each end and a fusible strip running down one side. The 8-amp fuse is typically used for lighting circuits, and the 16-amp is used for higher-load circuits like the heater fan, wipers, or accessory feeds. Always replace a blown fuse with the same amperage rating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eImportant Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf a fuse blows repeatedly, do NOT increase the amp rating to \"make it stop.\" A repeatedly blown fuse is the wiring telling you there's a short, a bad ground, or a failing component drawing too much current. Diagnose and fix the root cause — running an oversized fuse risks melting wiring, frying components, or starting an engine bay fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShop Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original VW fuse boxes use spring-loaded copper contacts that corrode over time. If a circuit is intermittent or weak, pull the fuse and clean both the fuse caps and the box contacts with fine sandpaper or a contact cleaner before assuming the fuse itself is bad. New fuses won't fix corroded contacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e⚠️ California Prop 65 Warning:\u003c\/strong\u003e This product can expose you to chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm.
