Whunter pointed out a good online source for fuses. High-quality brass/copper fuses. $1.50 for a pack of ten

http://www.jbugs.com/store/merchant.mvc? is the site.

Yeah, it is OK to use the recommended fuse. Like 420SE said, it may be they were nervous (if they had trouble with that circuit before), or they did not have a proper amp fuse.

It is always better (safer) to use a lower amp fuse than a higher amp fuse than it recommended. Using a higher amperage fuse than what is called for is very dangerous for your automobiles electrical system, but I am sure that you probably already knew that.
