Fog Light Fuse

i just recently took my HID headlights out to replace them with stock bulbs...
after doing that i tested to see if my hheadlights worked. work fine.
tried testing the HID fogs... no fogs.

checked the fuse box, its burnt out. bought another fuse, placed it in.. turned it on... burned out the new fuse... its 15. i went to 20, burned that one out. 25? gone, burned it out...
why are my fogs eating my fuses? ive had my fogs for likea couple months now...

yah dont go up in size, you must've pinched a wire or something while you were in there and the power wire is shorting out. disconnect the harness to one side at a time and see if you can figure out which side it is. then go from there.

all my problems have been figured out. my foglight on the passenger side... the ballast rusted on the positive conductors...and the ballast box itsself is bubbling from rust. the the other one is fine since it managed to mount on the bumper wall. but the other side i had to put in a plasitc bag prolly wasnt the best idea. looks like i need a new ballast.
