I've taken it all apart mate a few times now, even put it back to how it was completely syandard and no change!
The bulbs couldn't have overloaded the system or somethin could they?

DO NOT EVER double size of the fuse if it blows !!!!!!!
The fuse is there to be the weakest (and cheapest) part.
If you go bigger on the fuse, chances are something IMPORTANT will melt/blow up.

I take it that all worked before fitting bulbs. Obviously you put something together wrong.
Take it apart again, disconnect everything, make sure the fuse doesn't blow and then connect ONE thing at a time and check if the fuse blows.

Doesn't matter how expensive the fuses are, they WILL be cheaper than damaging the dash/wiring

Can only suggest to put a 20A fuse in place of the blown one. Havent a clue what it is that is causing this high current though, sorry.

I've taken the actual part thet connects into the socket to make sure ite sitting right, but it's still not workin.
I've also checked the fuses! One's blown, a 10amp one, I replaced it but that one blew aswell, so I put a 15amp one in and that blew too. For some reason too much powers comin through, Any ideas?
