Subject:Headlight Relay Kit Problems

And I thought this would be easy.  I'm installing the Bus Depot Vision Kit
headlight upgrade kit on my 1985 camper (they use relays from That VW Bus
Guy).  The instructions say to put the red wires from the relays on the
open terminal of fuse #7.  Well, there's no open terminal on fuse #7.  It
says if there is no open terminal on fuse #7, use fuse #9.  Well, there's
no open terminal on fuse #9, either.  The only open terminal on a 16 amp
fuse is #10.  Should I use fuse #10?  RidersRule on TheSamba soldered the
lower gauge wire on fuse #7 to one of the red relay wires.  Is this a
better solution?

While I was fiddling with the relays, one of the red wires fell out of the
box connected to the relay.  I don't think I pulled on it that hard; it may
not have been crimped very well.  Is there a way to get the spade connector
out of the box so I can re-crimp it?  There's obviously something locking
it in place.
