I recently changed my foglights and I've popped a couple fuses today.
Any suggestions as to why it's happening?

 

you changed your foglights

^^^^^^

Se-riously, what "other" reasons? I don't handle flames too well.

I had the same fogs before, but one burned out. It's not the bulb.

 

you have a short somewhere....check yer wiring and also the lights.

 

what fuses popped?

 

I'm pretty sure it was the 15 amp fuse thats labeled Fog FR...under the dash.

 

Anyone else?

 

Stick a 20-25 amp in there. If it's a short, you'll blow that too. If it's not, then your fogs just seem to pull more amperage now. If you stay with the larger fuse, you want to make sure that the wires aren't getting warm. Melting wires is no fun.

 

The worst advice I have ever heard.

Did you repolace the entire for light assy or just the bulbs? If you replaced the assy then look in the instructions and it will tell you what G wire to use and what Amp fuse it takes. Some aftermarket lights use a relay triggered off the stock circuit because they draw alot more current. if you just swapped bulbs, did you get the smae wattage as stock? if not, go get the stock ones. Running hight wattage bulbs on a circuit designed for a specific wattage is a fire waiting to happen. And go buy a fire extinguisher....car fires suck.

 

Thats the thing, they're designed to factory specs.
I'll check out the wires and stuff to see if anything is wrong.
