LED BULB REPLACEMENT

First of all can't find 3156 size led bulbs to replace tail directionals...
Next, tried to fit the 3157 which fit fine, but blew the fuse so i took the 7.5 out of the drl (daytime running lights) which are only on canadian ones.

Any help???

Do I just need to up fuse to 10a or are there 3156 bulbs out there that i am missing cause no one has them.

First legit answer gets a [IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

i would up the fuse to 15 and get one from the dealer they have one and if you dont want to get one from them get one from someone else and connect the fuse to the fuse box with wires. lemme get this right, you are putting led's in the talilights or the turn signals, and where do you get them?

Actually, apc sells them as well as a few other specialist companies...they just enhance the output of light and to me are better looking...
the whole fuse thing is weird, i also work with a guy that specializes in emergency vehicles and the led's actually use less power (amperage) than the regular light bulbs that are already installed in the vehicles...believe it or not, they use even less than strobes do and those use about half the power as a regular halogen type bulb...
