Help!!..immediate electric problem I need help with!!!
 
Ok I go to get going in my car and my corners and my dash lights only come on when I hit my brakes. what's that all about??...Also I have apc superwhites in the corners and I'm only using a 10 amp fuse which for about 3 weeks worked up until this problem..I changed the amp to another 10 and it's still doing the same thing. I don't wanna use a higher amp or anything becuz they said it's not good, i'd jus rather use a bunch of 10's. What do you guys thinks is going on?????

yea i did it about 3 weeks ago...i just went put in a 15 amp but i don't wanna keep it in..you think if i just stay away from the double wattage bulb(35/5) and get a 21/5 super white or hyper white i'll be ok?

I had this happen to me, but I just put in a 15 amp fuse and it fixed it. Go over your connections and make sure they are fully covered so that no shorts can occur. A higher fuse was only a temp. fix until I got the shorts fixed. I dunno about the bulb wattage, I have just got stock wattage white bulbs in there right now.

So you have the regular yellow look corners and headlights??..I think I'm just gonna go back to that because there is no bulb out there that is going to give me a pure white all around ..besides maybe the piaa's which i can't afford

no, i've got some superwhites or hyperwhites or whatever in the 1157, 194, and 9004. But they are all the stock wattage. Most white bulbs that people buy are over the stock wattage.

The headlight bulbs I have are the silverstars which light up white and look white from angles escpecially the side and they're stock wattage..I love them..But my 194 superwhites don't match the 1157's the 194's are turning yellow/orangy so imaa take those out

yeah, my 194s turned a color that kinda looks like puke, so i changed them out,and now these have faded into a orangish color.
