Dee8go,

This thread is 3 years old, but here is the revelant info.

In California, the cars are tested to what they were MFG with, California Emissions or 49 State(ie Federal) emissions they are tested by the sticker on the car. Federal emissions are what would be on the Indiana car IF it were not to have been sold first in California.
My 560 SEC is a Federal Car, Of course my Euro 500 SEC is federalized, but was done so in CA. hence it has to pass Ca regulations.

I carry extra fuses in all colors(Blue, Red, White) I don't carry the strip fuses as they rarely blow. But it might be a good idea.

I fill the fuse boxes with two of each color in the extra holes provided, then have two or three of each color in the glove box or in my "make it home" box in the trunk. The"Make It Home" Box Contains a used, but good ICU, An FPR, OVP, EZL, Ice Cubes Relays and any other misc. items I've had to change out (relays, switches, spark plugs and the like)......Just to get me home in the advent of a problem.
