    Did you keep the stock fog light in that circuit?
    If so then you will be lucky if the fuse blew.

    I recommend using a seperate switch that controls a relay for any additional lights. If you really want to only have stock switches, then you'll need to wire things so that the stock switch controls a relay for your aux lights. I'd do that even if you take the stock fog light out of the equation.

    Lol ya just a low amp fuse I stepped it up 5 and no more problems. But i often use an added relay as you describe to bikes and any system' as not to overload .anything and pull power directly from battery to run high amp horns and such .thAnks

    I dearly hope that an electrical fire does not result. Fuses have ratings for a purpose, and going higher is a dangerous game.

    The Seca750 utilizes one 30 amp fuse for the main, and 10 amp fuses for all other circuits at the main fuse box. You still have something wrong if it takes a 20 to keep a fuse from blowing.
