The fuse box is insider the glovebox. You need something like this to change the fuse.

Yes, exactly!. The fuses inside the glovebox are so deep inside. You need some kind of tool to access them.

How long are those needle nose?

While the long needlenose look like they would do the job, I would not stick anything metal into a fuse box. One wrong move and you could be in big trouble. Use the fuse pullers provided in the fuse boxes. They are short but should do the job. The major point is that they are plastic, not metal. Just a thought.

Thats where u wrap that ends with black tape...also u just grab the end of the fuse...u don't shove it all the way down. Just enough to grab it than pull it out.
