got them installed. turned them on... the "tailight" or "parking light" fuse blew (10A)... but the turn signals still worked fine, just not the parking lights...so i stepped up the amps and when to 15A same thing... blew... then i tried 25A blew again... so i dont know whats causing it to burn the fuses every time. any help would be appreciated. THANKS!!!

You should NEVER put a larger fuse in anything as nice as your car. Put the 10 amp fuse back in it and remove all of the lamps you installed. Turn the lights on and make sure the fuse is not blown again. If it is not blown, reinstall one of the lamps and test again. If the fuse is still not blown, install a second and check again. Continue this till you figure out which lamp or lamps are causing your problem.
