as low a value as possible, as close to the switch or battery as you can- do you know the current draw of the leds?
the leds kit may have a "watt" rating- watts is a measure of electrical consumption- not light making ability.
If your led kit was "10 watts" that would work out to .83 amps at 12 volts...so a 1 amp rated fuse would be good
if not you can find out by putting a multimeter in series with the leds before install to test. use the meter in ammeter mode which usually uses the same negative probe, but may have a different position for the positive probe.
