I would keep the original fuse size in there. Not just to save the wiring in the dash but also for the programmer. It is some rather sensitive equipment. If you are constantly blowing fuses then there is something you need to look at. If you are drawing too much from the socket then wire up another one. I have a total of four in my console. Three are on top that are made to run simple, low draw things like my GPS, chargers, etc. I've got another one underneath that is wired for about 25 amps but for now it just runs my CB radio. I use the actual cigarette lighter for keeping my MP3 player charged. I prefer to use my own wiring because just my console is able to handle over 60 amps. I decided to make it able to handle 6 100 watt lights and some smaller accessories...if I needed it to.
