Did the second fuse blow, too? Maybe a short somewhere.
Also, get your battery checked, especially if its a crappy Acura battery.

If you swapped the fuses and it worked for a while, then stopped, did any of the fuses blow? If not, I would say you have a loose connection or a short in the system somewhere. They can be a bitch to isolate. If you know anyone familiar with car electrical, have them take a look at it. You will most likely need a multimeter to check all of the connections.

You may be able to get your hand back there, but be careful---those HID ballasts can generate a lot of voltage. To really check all the connections, you should remove the bumper cover for better access.
