4 LEDs = wow. 5amp would be MORE than enough.

And 7 neons / 6 LEDs.....I would say 15 or 20 to be safe. Also should be more than enough.

Ok must you be a ass all i wanted to know is about what size fuse i need for some things and i have a 10 amp on 7 neons, 6 leds, and 1 set of strobes now, so i really don't think that i would need a 20 or even a 15

A 5 amp fuse will be more than enough for all of that.

1) Why are you calling me an ass for trying to help you? I gave my honest answer back to what you asked for, which was what size fuse you needed.

2) I never toy around with all my neon stuff, so I always use more than I need.

3) If you have all that hooked up to a 10 and everything is fine, why are you asking what size fuse you need? Obviously you already have one that works perfectly.

Don't be a **** when someone tries to help you.

I'm putting fuses on each thing, I have head light strobes in my backup lights so i'm putting a fuse on them also all my neons on the inside and then i was going to fuse my leds in my fog lights but because my napa don't have anything smaller then 1 amp i'm not going to and the reason i called you a ass is because of one thing you said

4 LEDs= wow .5 ...

and i'm sorry for calling you a ass now, i just would rather have to small of a fuse then to big of one

Aken bigger isn't necessarily better. If something goes wrong you want to make sure that fuse will blow. Ideally you would want the fuse just slightly larger than the peal current draw. 15-20 amps for even 7 neons and some LEDs is wayyyy too much. 10 amps should even be more than enough.
