Re: lights bit@hes (SlammedDC2)
id go with a 15 first,if there is something majorly wrong with that wire then instead of the fuse blowing the wire could start to melt,you dont want your car to catch on fire just because of one wire

lol what? **** go ahead and put in a 50A fuse. why not just use a penny?
Those fuses are there for circuit protection. If the wire is designed for 10A and you use a 20A fuse, you might set the wire ...and your car on fire. Did you take a wiring class from Volkswagon University or something?

OP: you obviously have a short in the circuit. Get that ******* paper clip out and start looking for the short.

theres a reason when a fuse blows and you dont have the same one to replace its recommended you get one with less amps. More is a no no.
