well ive checked and rechecked all my connections and so forth.. but for some reason every month the small 15A fuse that came with the foglights (that came in a little plastic casing thats connected to the battery) keeps frying and is startig to melt the casing it is in??
so i dont know what is going on....

your getting more amperage than needed going through your system, youknow the fuse works there must be some sor tof voltage spike occuring say when you turn your highbeams on for example, maybe something your doing is blowing your fuse

if it was a direct short it would just pop sounds like over heating. sounds like they may have used too small of a wire. as the stock lights are on a 15 amp fuse. any picks i havent seen thier harness.

the wire would melt first the fuse is made to withstand a certain temperature

this is where it becomes a pickle lol
