Foglights and circuit question

hey guys,

i just put in hyperwhites for my head lights and foglights. Everything worked good for a day, then all of sudden last night my fogs went out. When i check, the circuit was blown for the fogs, so i went ahead and bought new circuits, oddly enough that cicruit blew too. I put in the right circuit 15amp. Just for the hell of it i tried 20 25 and 30 amp all those circuits blew too. Was wondering if the bulb for my fogs could be the problem. I did put in h3 55watt bulbs though.

Any input is appreciated.

Maybe stating the obvious

but why don't you put in the original bulbs (with the original fuse value) and see if the problem re-occurs. If it does, it is due to one (or more) of the new bulbs.

mlocke is on to something, also, do the lights come on at all and then blow the fuse, or do they blow the fuse imediately? Also maybe try switching one bulb at a time (make sure you don't touch the bulb's glass w/ your fingers) I am thinking maybe you didn't put the little cloth insulation cover on and maybe you have a short?????
