Sorry if it's been discussed, I tried searching but didn't find anything. 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?

immediately remove the 30amp fuse. I see people try this all the time and it is severely unsafe considering you can overload the circuit and cause a fire. Try looking for shorts. Exposed bare wire making contact where it shouldnt.

Yea I removed it right away, I know what it could do. I'll have to check the wiring deeper, from the wires I could see, everything looked ok.

Stock wiring and fogs or are they aftermarket?
