So she keeps popping fuses....

I have the Accord fogs installed in my 05 Acura TL....with HIDextra HID kit....

It was been working perfectly fine since a year now....but the other day the hid's (yes both) went out....I checked a 5A fuse under the steering and it was fine....the switch lights up and goes on an off depending on the switch position....

now the 15A fuse under the hood was popped....so i went ahead and put another 15A in there and pop....i was like ok lemme try 20A....and pop....

i wanted to try a 30 in there but didnt want to screw up the ballast or some like that....

anyone experience similar issues ? short circuit ? all other electrical-s work just fine....

any help is appreciated.....

well i put a 5A fuse using a fuse splitter under the steering wheel fuse box....this was in #32....i think ACC or ICC ?

but this fuse is fine....the Accord fog kit came with an inline fuse with a 15A in there....this is the one causing issues

I did the install and this has been working well since a year now....
bought it on EBAY

I'd say you've got a short somewhere. Retrace all of the wiring and look for crimps/exposed wire. Check the light sockets/receptacles. Try pulling one bulb, then the other and see if the fuse still blows...
