Ive read that the 15a fuse needs to be replaced with a 20a from multiple sources. I've looked in the manual and see no indication as to where I may find this fuse. Can some one help point this one out to me. Here's some picture of what I see.
This box right here I'm scared to unplug, but when I tilt it to a certain side I see fuses under it?
Pull that box you are holding in your hand. Fuses are under there. You can actually pull it and tilt it without any worries. There is a fuse puller in the fuse box underneath the steering wheel. Use that to pull.

I was under the impression that I would pull one of these 15a out and put a 20a in its place. Anthony your saying I need that Amazon item?
never heard of anyone putting HID in fog lights. It doesnt matter where u get it, just make sure its good quality. It will be great you ask a tech from the dealer make sure is safe to do so. you dont want to put a lot of strain on the car's electric system.
from what some ee has told me, increasing the fuse may damage the wire as it may create too much heat in the wire before the fuse will "blow." safety factors are usually high, but it is a risk.

In my mind, it's never a good idea to up a fuse from what the circuit was originally intended for. A lot of people do it (particularly ones who put HID into their fog lights). It will most likely work, but at what cost/risk?
Maybe I'm giving my age away, but back in the day when houses had screw-in fuses, when a fuse would blow and there was no spare around, people would stick pennies in the fuse box to close the circuit!! Now this is absolutely much worse than having a higher Amp fuse inline, but fires were started nonetheless.
