Pull your cluster and start looking for damaged wires, Have you pulled the dash out recently or done any work to the car wiring.

And to clarify when you put a new fuse in dose it pop before you turn on the headlight switch or after you turn on the switch.

No I havent done any electrical work to my car besides HIDs.

The fuse pops when I turn my fogs/headlights on.


so I have to pull my cluster and look for damaged wires?

check and see if you have a wire grounding out on either the head lights or fog lights. i had this problem but it had to do with a lose wire behind my head unit i forgot a tape up.
