Default after installing my oemstyle fog lights....

i keep on blowning fuses. the fuse that is for tail light, instument light, and license light. its a 10 fuse. now since i put in the foglights, taht fuse keeps on blowing if i have the foglights on for a while (15min). somedays it wont happen and they will be on for an hour+. now since i have more lighting(power) should i bump up the size of the fuse to like a 30?

you have an exposed wire somewhere, that has to be it.

Mine did the same thing...

then i followed all the wires, and somewhere along, i ended up having something either not pluged in all the way, or it was touching something else, i don't remember.


check everything, including your bulbs, make sure you put them in right

just recheck your wiring, and you'll find the problem.

good point i never did check the bulbs themselves, the bulbs where already in. thanks, i guess ill update you again, if i happens again.

so keep the fuse the same?

Yea, I was contemplating the same thing when mine kept blowing... but i figured something had to be wrong. Like i said, i don't remember what it was exactly, but it was a wiring/bulb problem.

Most likely you have a crimped wire. Check them all out. I had a crimped wiring after wiring in a light buzzer and it caused my A/C to not function. 120$ fix from honda. Not cool
