Default 95 Fog Light Help.

I ordered some JDM Yellow Fog Lights and had them installed on my 95 civic dx, me and my friend wired the power of the fog lights to the hot and made sure we had a good ground, i replaced my 10A instrument tail light fuse with a 30A, they work and they don't cut in and out but now my radio wont turn on until my lights are turned on and my digital clock's memory resets everytime. Also my dimmer switch burnt out and i replaced it and it did it again. If anyone can help id greatly appreciate it thanks.

Recheck your wiring. You obviously wired up something absolutely incorrectly.

First off, did you make sure you plugged it in to the right hot spot in the fuse box? Should be plugged into slot 3 in the diagram below. Also, make sure you are using a 15 Amp fuse not the cheap a$$ 30amp ebay fuse they give you. Also, make sure that none of the wiring is grounding out on the body of the car. You said that your grounds are good? Doulble check `em, that could be a cause of your blown fuses.

Your wiring should be as followed: Connect the wire to the positive connector of the battery, run the wire along the side of the car. Make sure to use a 15 amp fuse. Than from the driver fog light, run along the side of the car and through the fire wall. Than put the grounding wire on a metal part of the car, plug the wire into the #3 hot spot, than plug into the swtich.

i replaced the fuse that calls for a 10A with a 15A instead of a 30A, but i drive a 95 civic not a 98, but it's in the right spot, the fuse that keeps blowing is my back up fuse(fuse box in motor) and it calls for a 7.5 A and i replaced it twice with a 7.5 then a 10 and it blows but if i use a 15A then my lights will stay on constantly and wont turn off when i turn my key. My Honda has not been molested, no motor swap the only thing that has been changed is a stereo, cluster, digital clock, and now fogs that seem to be the devil.

Lemme ask you this. Were those things working before you put in the lights?

Pull all the fog light wiring and return everything to a working condition. I don't know how you and your friend wired these things up as badly as you did but that's obviously your problem. There are also plenty of DIY threads on wiring fogs that is correct. Find one and follow it.

Wiring fog lights is not that hard. Double-check your work because you two definitely messed something up.
