I bought some leds installed them and bought this. http://www.superbrightleds.com/specs/744x-xLX3.htm its for the cornering lights. it pops the fuse everytime I turn it on. Should I put in a bigger fuse, is it safe? and how big of a fuse should I use? sorry I dont know much about electrical systems in a car.

Thanks,
Vik

I didn't look at the specs but I really don't think that an LED would draw more power than a standard filament bulb. Again, not an expert but, just my opinion. It pops the fuse when trying both sides? I'm thinking maybe one of the bulbs are defective and possibly shorting out the circuit causing the fuse to blow..

Would love to see pics of them installed not to mention on. Include day and night photos (one side with the LED and the other with OE to compare brightness).

On the popping of the fuse, are they installed the right way. I am thinking, similiar to the LED reverse bulbs a lot of us are using with the new LED tails, if they are not put in the right direction, this might be causing the blown fuse, but then again, if you had to splice anything, you might have a short.

That's one bulb I never replaced because I kept blowing fuses, either way I put the bulb in. But it has been done, search is your friend...

J I know that but I figured it was a fuse and the problem would be solved just by throwing a bigger fuse in, but didnt want to light my car on fire in the process. My apologies.

haha give me some time bro... been extremely busy lately. but yea you can try to load a resistor.... i kept blowing my fuse... but dont upgrade your fuse to a bigger amp...NOT A GOOD IDEA!! get some 3ohm or 6ohm resistors wire part to the ground the other to the power. let me know if that works but like i said i gave up with leds in the cornering lights i went with these blue cheesy lights from the flea market. Let me know how you make out
