HID Fog Light Issue. .
Just installed some HID 4300's for the fog lights. My problem is whenever I switch over to the fogs only one comes on then the 10 ACM fuse blows. I've heard concerns about just upgrading the fuse to a higher wattage as being a bad idea. Should I upgrade to a 15ACM Fuse ? Thanks

The fuse blowing would concern me that there could be a short somewhere in the wiring or one ballast hooked up backwards or has a bad ground.
Having only one come on is a common issue at startup likely due to the wimpy OEM wiring.
Are you starting the fogs with the engine already running for a bit ?
Before or after the headlights are turned on ?

My installation directions said to upgrade to a 20 amp fuse. Mine were doing the same thing until I realized I missed that on the directions. No problems since.
