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.

i had this problem in my EF hatch, the insulation on one of the wires to my parking lights was cracked to where the wire was showing and grounding out blowing all the fuses i put in. check you're wiring you just did for the same issue
