Default fuse goes out when adjusting lights...

I got some projectors off ebay (jdm blacks) for a 93 honda accord! Well the drivers side bulb went out a wile back, and I got some new (eurolite xenon super plasma h3 bulbs) for it. Well I have had these bulbs for a couple of days now and this has not happend until now. I was adjusting the projector on the drivers side so they can be aiming the right way, and all of a sudden I hear something click the projector on the drivers side goes out and the high beams come on dimed. I put a new fuse in the fuse box and I started to adjust them again, same thing happens! I dont know what to do and why me adjusting the headlights make a fuse go out!

Can anybody help me on this one?

Does anybody know what to do or ever had this problem?

All help will be very good, I need to go get something to eat and its dark!

Thanks

You must be overloading the circuit...to many Amps on any circuit will blow the fuse, thats what they are there for. Make sure you are using the right wattage bulbs, and if you are then you need to re-wire your fogs onto their own circuit.

I found out what went wrong! I got the bumper off, got the projector headlamp housing off, and go a good look inside something you can't do in a tightly cramped honda (Foreign made cars, you just can't beat em)! Well the prob. was that when I was adjusting them the medal projector would push up against the projector housing on a corner, well it just happend to have the positive wire inbetween, and the projector housing being hot did not help, so basicly it grounded everything out and blew a fuse! Well Im still not satisfied with lights thow, because the drivers side light is not clear as pass. side, and the cut-off line is not purple like the pass. side line is (its the shield inside I think). So what I guess I will do is just save money, save money, save money and buy some BMW projectors of ebay and then just put them in my projector housing (im thinking it should fit perfectly since there was already a projector in the housing: like the screw holes that hold them in: like the adjusting screws, if someone could verify that for me it would be great)! Well thanks for everything!
