Default larger fuse when going to HID lights

I think I read some where about switching to a larger fuse when you go with the HID lights. What fuses do you replace and what amps do you go up to? I cant remember where I read it. I think i was HID planet

Just changing fuses is not the "smartest" idea . . . wires are typically rated o the fuse size, so if the fuse is over sized the wire burns instead of the fuse, thus burning your car to the ground . . .

Thats where relays come in!

I've got HID foglights and haven't had any problems yet. I do however think I need a relay just to be safe haha. My headlight projector project should be done here pretty soon so I'll be able to fill you in on that too!
