question about changing lights

[90LaserTurbo89k]

ok, this may sound weird/dumb or stupid, but i tried it anyway.

when i totalled my beretta GT, i took out the WHOLE headlight wire setup.

i took the headlight bulb and wires and replaced the stock front corner lights with them, they fit in the stock holes...

now my question is this...

after i turned the lights on, they worked fine...but then i went inside my house and came back out and my lights were off. i blew a fuse, but it was the taillight fuse, in the engine bay fuse box. i replaced the fuse, since i have like 50 layin around from my beretta. then it blew it again a couple minutes later.

if i change the fuse from 10A to like 15A or 20A, will it make it NOT blow? or will it blow EVEN MORE often? i WILL make this work one way or another, but i wanted to see if the easy way would work.
thanks ahead of time.

check to see if you have an expose wire touching the car, that can cause that

but would the difference in wattage affect the fuse? it never blew a fuse till after i put the headlight bulbs in, i gotta go out today and let me car run for a few so i can see if its gonna blow a 15A fuse. if it does...i dunno what to do.

anyone else got any ideas/info/thoughts???

any help is GREATLY appreciated!!!

No idea...I just wanna know what it looks like...

well, i did the 15A fuse, it worked...BUT the heat from the bulb started to melt the back part (the white part) of the light fixture. i am gonna try to paint it with aluminum high temp paint (the stuff i did some things in my engine with) to see if that makes it better. hopefully it does, because the super white bulbs look sweet in the corner lights!!!

Ok i'm confused .

What size of bolb did you install?
In what ligth assembly ?
What was the original light bolb wattege ?

If the housing is melting , that means that what ever you do it it . It will melt becouse of to much power from the bolb.

Replacing a fuse with one that handles more amps is ALWAYS a bad idea. That particular fuse is rated with those amps for a reason. Put in a stronger fuse, and it is no longer the weakest link in the circuit. Something is going to melt, and it won't be the fuse. Doing so can cause serious eletrical problems and even start a fire.

never put a fuse too high!! ull cause a fire.. trust me.. i know..

check your wiring
