The fog lights on my 87 GT keep blowing fuses as soon as I try to turn them on. I put in a 30 amp fuse instead of the 15 amp and it didn't blow the fuse but it caused the headlights to severely dim and eventually flicker, I turned the fogs off right away to avoid any electrical damage. Anybody have any ideas? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Mr.10psi</b> <br /><small>Member # 11062</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2014,11,6,20,31,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> immediately remove the 30amp fuse.
