    Hello I bought the 3000k 35w hids for my fogs and I just put them in. When i checked the first one it worked fine after installing the 2nd one the fuse blew. it has a 10 fuse, Should i just buy another 10 fuse and put it in or do you think i need a bigger fuse? It said on the web site to buy that harness but that was if you were running multiple hids on an ATV or small type of vehicle like that. I do also have 6000k for my driving lights. Thanks

    Just get another fuse. If it keeps blowing it the ballast is probably bad.

    if they are the same wattage then the ballasts don't matter if they are mixed up.

    Never a good thing to put a larger fuse in. A 10A fuse means thats what the circuit is rated for. Instead of the fuse popping as it is designed to do the wire could melt causing big issues. a buddy of mine head to rewire a 2000something dodge because they just put a bigger fues in. Buy a relay and wire them that way. I think the site the12volt.com has all the info for wiring relays and such...

    Edit: that site has the info, if ya need any more specific info lemme know!
