LED DRLS - Fuse blown

Hello everyone

I have just installed LEDs in my 2008 W204, the guy who installed them, added some capacitor and attached the leds to the fuse box cause i wanted them to be on all the time, anyways, they work find, but the fuse blows randomly, sometimes at lasts a week, other times it blows in hours!

Any advice? I have no idea what should I do

Go back to the OEM fogs. No problems.

Increase the amperage of the fuse? But you also risk melting a wire because the fuses blow as a fail-safe mechanism.

NEVER recommend just putting a bigger fuse in , even if your joking as some muppet will do it and when their car catches fire will blame you for suggesting it.

Fuses do not normally blow for no reason, you have an intermittent wiring fault , get the man who fitted them or an auto electrician to have a look for you if your not confident with it yourself
