Also, DO NOT take the easy way and try to squeeze the resistor leads
under the fuse. terminate them as you would any high power device.
The reasons being ;

you do not want a lead to break and short something else.
you do not want to change the fuse to fuse holder connection.
the solid wire will break under movement and you would lose the use.

also, you could use a resistor value up to about 10k, 4 to 5 times
the 20mA value. The higher the value, the lower the brightness of
the LED though.
