civic eg foglight help

[baeshin]

ok guys. i had foggies in my car for a while now but ive only hooked em up recently and they worked fine.. i didn really have instructions but i figured out a way

well my foggies turn on via a switch only wen the parkers are on.. cus of the way i conncetd em.

but now for some reason wen i turn the foggies on it blows the fuse .. which is a 10amp fuse.

is it because i wired it up to the parkers? cus i thought foggies are meant to be wired thru there. if they arent meant to be there then where does it go?

thanx .. any help wil be appreciated

try plugging them to the far right male spade connector above the fuses (accesories). i wired mine to that along with a tacho and volt meter and they work fine. otherwise check the grounding properly

yeh because you wired up with the parker. The 10 amp fuse can not handle that much load.
To solve your problem, try replacing the fuse with a 20amp or 30amp
