HID low + Fog = burnt acc fuse? So I started to see a bunch of people here swapping out there low beam and fog lights for HID's on the stock alternator. I currently have HID low beams installed, but when I put the fogs in htere too I kept burning my Accessories fuse out. Any ideas or maybe just a bad alt?

my buddy just bought some projector headlights for is 04 Roush and they came with a piece of paper that said not to put HID's in the projector modules. Idk if this has anything to do with that, thought it might help, I will be checking back to this thread to see what others say because I do want to put them in my fogs!

Been running 10000K HID for lows and fogs for almost 2 years on stock alternator and no problems. Lows were a direct swap for the stockers. For my fogs, I chose to replace the stockers with a pair of Hella Micro DEs. Again, no problems at all. Make sure that your fog's ballasts/ignitors are plugged in correctly. Could be reversed.

Check your connections. Make sure the ballasts are not shorting out. Another thing I recommend is to get a relay harness for both kits you are running. This way the lights get the proper power from the battery insead of using the factory wiring to power them.
