power wires shorting to ground (not ground wires) is what causes fuses to blow. or faulty bulbs. take the bulbs out and see if the fuse blows. if not, then a bulb may be bad.
DO NOT replace with a bigger fuse. i can explain why if you don't know.

I will take the bulbs out and see... these are brand new so i hope the bulbs arent bad...
All the wiring came with wire loom around it... so i dont think the power is affecting the ground...

OK so i fixed it... all my connections were good. When plugging in the brown clip make sure you use the second open one from the left. This one will enable you to leave the switch on and they will turn off when you turn your headlights off...
So what i did was check if the bulbs were trippin... i unplugged one harness and fired them up... what do you know... the one that was plugged in worked... so i knew that the other light was grounding out causing the fuse to blow...
So then i took the assembly apart and low and behold the connection that was going to the bulb didnt have the plastic sleeve pulled all the way over the connection... so the connection was touching the metal inside the housing... i pulled the plastic cover over (like a condom) and BOOM they worked!!! I mounted everything up and everything is good to go!!!
I love the Depos... they brighten up the road quite a bit! I am just waiting to see how long they work for... LOL...

glad you got it fixed. not the first time i've seen "new" parts be either defective or not assembled properly from the factory.
