Default rear brake mod question

ok so i completed my mod and i went to show a friend and once i did he asked me to turn on the fogs and then hit to brakes to see if they did anythin different and they did much brighter but then!!the whole thing went out everythin and i checked my fuse completely shot so does that mean i need to just get a new one or should i go wit a 15 fuse instead of a 10(stock) and also i used the extra i had sittin in my fuse box (i took the mod off) and the parkin lights only work on the left side and the right doesnt go on and also i have the halo projectors dont work on the right but they do on the left does that entail a whole other fuse or wat.... hope u guys can help me cause my parents r ready to kill me

Yeah, you don't turn on the rear fog lights when you do the brake light mod...

Are you saying that you un-did your taillight mod, and now your projectors on the right side aren't working? It's hard to make out what you're really trying to say.....it's all one jumbled sentence. Use punctuation in your sentences, and try to be a bit more detailed withyour problem.The period (.) is your friend.

Yes, i would go with the 15amp fuse.

ok to cyber thanks for that i now know not to do that and since i work at a supply/hardware store i just will geta discount on new fuses and it was my friends idea so ill have to kick his *** for that.. and to effort sry i hate usin correct english. To start the right rear parkin light (the brake light thats on when the lights r on witout usin the brake) that is out and doesnt light up but if i use the brake it works. also on the right side my halo projector headlights the halo section as seen in my sig dont turn on but the lights themselves work.could that be the fuse that headlights r on or the parkin lights

Double-check to ensure that you jumped the correct set of wires on the right side taillight. If your left sides are working, and your rights aren't, then it sounds to me like you have something messed up. I don't think a 15amp fuse will solve your problem.

sry i hate usin correct english
^^ gud luk on dat j o b inturview

Possibly - but you're only putting a band-aid on a bigger problem. If you put a bigger fuse in, you run the risk of causing serious electrical damage.

The 10amp fuse is there for a purpose, and that is to cut off anything above 10amps from reaching yourlighting system. Anything above 10amps that goes through your system will blow the fuse, thus allowing the fuse to do its job....and that is to prevent bad things from happening to yourlighting. If you put a 15amp fuse in there, you're allowing anything up to 15amps to run across that system, which will not be good in the long run, and will only cause further problems (ie, blown bulbs, etc.)
