I recently installed LED lights in my parking lights, DRL, reverse lights and my front and rear turn signals (with 6ohm resistors). For some reason, my fuse for the DRL keeps going out.
FYI - I had a little trouble on the rear turn signal and accidentally cut the + and ground wire. I put them back together using a wire splicer, and the turn signals work just fine.
1) Does anyone have an idea why my DRL fuse keeps going out?
2) Can it be related to the turn signals? (Keep in mind my turn signal fuse never goes out).
3) Will the fact that I accidentally cut my rear turn signal wire, cause any long term damage on the wiring?
Somebody told me to up the amps on the fuse. I upped it 10 amps and it blows within one day. What is going on? Can someone please help?

2. No.
3. No as long as you have a solid connection and either electrical tape or a heat shrink sleeve over it you will be fine.
I am going to say its the bulbs and I would NOT suggest you up the fuse especially if it keeps blowing. Go back and double check all connections to make sure something is not loose. If this doesnt correct the issue place your OEM DRL's in and see if the fuse still blows. If it does you have a short somewhere. If you work then its the bulbs that are causing the issues.

This is so frustrating. You think I can call Vleds and ask them to send me another module?
I'll definitely try putting back my stocks in to see if they still blow. My LED DRLs are 3WATT CREE+10SMD.
