10A Radio/Clock Fuse Keeps Blowing

recently i installed some hids in my fogs, and ever since ive been blowing my 10A radio/clock fuse once in a while on my 2000 civic hatch....

what should i do to prevent this from happening? can i go with a 15A fuse?

the fogs are wired up properly and they have there own seperate fuse 30A and also there connected to the 2 spare spots on the fuse box under the dash....

And are these spare spots they are hooked to part of the radio circuit? If so then they are not installed properly and you don't want to try and draw that much current through a circuit not designed for it.

try running the fog lights on a seperate circuit. have them running off a switch which will then go to a relay and let the relay take the load of the higher current. if you don't want the extra switch find out what wire has power on it when you have your low beams on and use that wire to power the relay for your fogs. i say low beam because here it's illegal to have fog lights on with your high beams on at the same time.
