Default Is a fuse needed?
Do I need a fuse for spliced turn signal lights that are powering my m3 style turn signals on my mirrors? Or can I just splice them directly? thanks

You should be able to just splice them in, as they do not use a lot of current for that split second they are on for each time they come on.

the factory lights are on a fused circuit in the fuse box already so there is no need. Especially if they are LED because of the low current draw.
