Changed fogs to HID, question though.

I bought the ddm tuning raptor hid kit for my fogs.

Today i installed that as well as an AEM v2 intake and i painted some parts of my grill.

Is there a way to upload pictures directly on to AZ or they have to be hosted somewhere else.

anyways my real question is the HID's blow the 10A fuse but work fine on 15A is it safe to upgrade the fuse like that?

you need to read the instructions and use the fuse they recommend, if you use a higher fuse you have a chance of messing up the warranty. Make sure everything is grounded. You will also need to install a relay to make sure they work right. That might be your problem, trying installing a relay

I had the same problem. I have been using a 15a fuse for over 4 months now with no issues. A relay is definitely best and recommended, though.

from what I recall, you want to use the fuse specified. and typically, it is the lowest that you can get away with. you dont necessarily want to switch to a higher fuse than what the wiring can support - for example, you dont want the fuse to remain good while the rest of the electircal components are already fried.

You should definitly use a relay, and I would use the fuse that came with the kit. I wouldn't go higher or lower.
