Default Help !!! Installed factory fogs, now alarm fuse blowing out??

The car is a 99 si. I just finished installing factory fogs. Now a 5amp fuse keeps blowing out. The alarm is a python. I hate it. I don't know much about electrical so I'm totally stumped.

Don't put a bigger one in just yet!

Where is this 5amp fuse located?? On the alarm harness? What is the color of the wire that the fuse holder is attached to?

Ok, the foggs do flash with the parking lights. When the foggs are on it blows the fuse. Will replacing with a bigger fuse fix the problem without harming anything?

The 5amp fuse is located on the alarm harnes, its orange. Im pretty sure its going to the wire that turns on the parking lights. Can I change this? I would like to keep it set up so my foggs will come on with just my parking lights.

Orange for DEI products are usually ground when armed, meaning starter kill. Light flash is usually a white wire.

Most likely the alarm can't handle flashing the fog lights too, since they do draw more current than the park lights. Either keep the lights off or wire up an external relay to flash the lights/fog with a higher fuse like a 20amp.
