Default Where is headight fuse? And fuse questions

where are the headlight fuses located?

also, if it has a 20amp fuse, can I put a 25amp fuse in so it can take more voltage?

and what kind of fuse does the car use? Regular fuses or mini blades?

HID low beam headlight fuses are 15Amp each located on left front above the wheel.
Look inside cover (And owners manual) for H-LP R LWR and H-LP L LWR....

Fuses are there at specified rating to protect the wires and circuitry they serve. Using a higher Amperage fuse than what is listed is BAD idea as it could burn the wire(s) and cause a fire.

If the rated fuse opens/burns/blows find and resolve the source of overload/short circuit to ground. Do NOT install higher rated fuse as you are asking for more trouble than you have now...

How do you know it is the fuse if you don't know where the fuses are located???

Sometimes my low beam turns on and sometimes it doesnt, same with highbeam/DRL. Also both my reverse lights went out a while ago.

Look at a recent thread where the guy"s connectors started over heating. Maybe happening to yours.
