Hardwiring Aftermarket Fog Lights

I just bought some for lights from Auto Zone the other day. I had them hard wired into my corner lamps. Everything worked for about five minutes, then I blew a fuse. I have tried putting an inline fuse inbetween the corner lamps and my fogs, still blew fuses. I keep blowing the TAIL L. fuse in the interior box. I have but a 7.5, 10 and 15 amp fuse, all still blow. Where can I hardwire to that isn't gonna blow fuses? Sorry for the logn post.

I wired mine into the existing fog harness and disconnected the OEM ones since they both got nailed by rocks

o man that was thi weekends' project. I've heard to wire into the corners as well, bujt havent heard of fuses blowing. you sure there aren't any bare wires hangin around creating a short? check the left taillight? One surefire way would be to wire directly to the battery, but then again, i'm always afraid of leaving the fogs on and forgetting to turn them off via switch.
