I am working on the same project. For the lic plate light and foot light area are going to need capacitors. I believe the correct ones to buy are 5 watts/100ohms. You will need to splice the wires and install them. You can find a lot of info on this site using the "search" button. Also there is a lot of info on this topic on "mymbonline".

Good Luck

Yes this I know but it seems that there was a thrid fuse box located almost under the battery this is why I was asking about a fuse chart. And I did alot of "searching" on this site trying to find someone with the same problem as I was having but no luck. Well I hope that if someone in the future has this problem they will now know (at least in my situation) that A) it was a fuse & B) there is a fuse located next to the battery (under the hood)
Funny thing the owners manual never mentioned this fuse box that I needed to access, neither did alot of the forums I visited and searched.
