That sounds like the only solution?

1) Are you putting int he correct fuse?
2) Are you even bothering to look if you have a wiring issue. Namely things like a direct short.

It doesn't have to be different, if it's blowing your headlight then the headlight harness could be worn or ripped and touching other stuff.
