08 HHR SS Fuses

A question that I cannot remember, Does the '08 HHR SS use a mini or low profile fuse in the interior fuse box. Getting old is a terrible thing.
Thanks Bill

No line bi-focals helped me. I can now see the actual fuses in the fuse box.

I know that feeling Don. But are they "mini" or "low profile" fuses?

What I meant was; I would open the fuse box and pull one of the spare fuses and look at it. FWIW, they are the same as the under hood fuses. I don't know what a mini or low profile fuse is, they have alpha-numeric designations. I am probably wrong, but I think EBC may be what is printed on the fuses.

It may even be printed on the diagram on the cover.

I'm asking because there are a few different types of "add a fuse" kits. LedGlow interior lighting has an "add a fuse" add on for their pro led interior lighting. Maybe I will just take a fuse and check the add a fuse at Canadian Tire and go from there.
Thanks Gents!

Or run a wire from the console fuse panel

There are a few spares in each fuse box.

Thanks for the replies guys. But, that doesn't answer my question. There were the large old school fuses, then the auto manufacturers designed them smaller as years went by. "I just wanted to know if they were mini or low profile". I know how to splice the leds into the door jamb so they work with the interior lighting and such. I worked for GM for over 30 years and even my friends aren't sure.

I have never heard of "low profile".

Give me a few more minutes and I'll go to AutoZone and look them up for you.
