Brake lights not working
My brake lights are not working... I keep blowing the fuse for them. I tried 3 fuses today, and the minute you push that brake pedal, the fuse blows. And I know that the lights are not all burned out, because the spoiler light does not work either. And the lights come on with the headlights.
I had CarToys install some PIAA fogs last week, and they connected them to the parking lights. That's the only thing I can think of... should I try a higher fuse? Like maybe 5a higher? Or is that not good to do...

first of all, follow stock voltage spec. if it says 7.5a then use 7.5a, don't use anything else. if you use higher fuse, it'll burn your harness in the long run...that will be very costly to fix.
i believe the reason your bulbs keep blowing out is broken socket. change your socket and see if it still burns out.
