HID Foglights, fuse keeps blowing, please help!

[sLoSrTnIcK]

I just installed my 35w 3000k hid kit for my foglights. When i installed just one, they worked flawlessly, but i put the second on in and when i turned them on, they worked for about 5 seconds, then the fuse blew.

What does this mean? Can i just put a bigger fuse in, or do i have another problem.

BTW, which wire is the power and which is the ground on the foglight connectors, i see a grey one and a black one.

Thanks alot
Nick

black IS ground like 99% of the time

ok, that's how i installed it.

Do you think the fuse is blowing because the ballast is drawing more power than the factory bulbs would, so it thinks there is a power surge or something?

I really think that i should install a bigger fuse, but i don't know if that will burn up the wiring then.

I think the new HID's draw too much power. And if you install a bigger fuse, it will most likely be a fire hazzard "waiting to happen".

Wish I had more info for you?

I have had HID fog lights 6k in my car for about 2 years. I had to put a 15 fuse in the place of the 10. My car hasn't caught fire once in these past 2 years
