Default fuse keeps blowing

ok. so i bought some ebay fog lights. and the switch they came with was broken. so i wired the fogs to the corners. everything was working fine, but then the fuse blew and now it keeps blowing the fuse as soon as i turn on the lights. i checked wires and none are touching. i realy have no idea why the fuse keeps blowing.

thanks for any help

Your power circuit has a short or the bulbs themselves are shorted. Get a multimeter and chase it down.

check all ur wires and make sure u dont have a ground exposed or touching metal. The bulbs could be shorted themselves or ur fuse could be too small to handle all the current, try beefing the fuse to a 30 or so and check ur wiring, if they worked before then sumthing touched or happened after installation, otherwise they would have blown as soon and u turned them on
