Looks good. The fuse is a bit over-rated at 5amps, but will do its job if needed.

Only thing I would suggest is to fit some insulation tape around the terminals on the fuse (or use insulated crimps). If they touch they body you will end up with a flat battery (or a fire).

Ive often wondered about the recesses in the headlining in your first picture. what are they meant to be for? looks a good place for a recessed light of some sort

2 things...

1. Use some punctuation please! It makes your posts really hard to understand when its all one big sentence. (please dont take this personally, its just so that people can understand what you are saying ;-)

)

2. Ohms law. Volts/current will dictate the size of fuse needed for the light. It should say somewhere on it or the instructions how much power it uses. The maths is: watts divided by voltage = amps. so a 10w light on 12v power needs a 0.833 amp fuse (1 amp basically).
