headlights fuse...weird, litronic light keeps killing it

ok so heres the deal, i tried putting one litronic on today, and as soon as i put it on, turned the light on, light started to come on for a little, and then it just died.
put the halogen light on, nothing, swap the left and right fuse and it works again, then put the litronic back on with a bulb from the other litronic, kills the fuse again.
i ran out of fuse to do more trys, so now none of my headlights work LOL...

this is the passenger side, A10 slot for low beam, showing me 7.5

so for those that have litronics, do i need a bigger amp fuse in that slot?

anyone?

DJ,

I don't know if you should have to swap the fuses out. When I ran Litronics on my car they were fine with the halogen fuses. Do you mind linking the thread you read?

D,


As everyone has stated I'll bet it's the fuse amps. In the kit I recieved it directed the owner to change out the fuses for litronic installation. My car was made in Finland and already had the higher amp fuses as well as all the corresponding holes necessary for the conversion.

i just picked up some 15A fuses, put them in, slid the light in, and it works great.
