Its been tried, you would melt the turn signal housing.

the circuit is design to run at a certain load, you put a bigger fuse so it will not blow the fuse is a general rookie mistake, sure the fuse will not blow anymore but engine fire and wires will melt. think about this, why there's fuse in the first place?
