Help needed as my dash is all apart lol I've fitted dash LEDs to the speedo and mfd with no problems but everytime I try to fit the 2 heater ones it blows the fuse. Anyone else had this problem? It's a 10amp fuse that's fitted so thought of fitting a 20amp one but didn't know if this would work. The LEDs have resistors and everything fitted to them so are just push fit

Thanks Gary

I noticed the bloke I bought them off on eBay is a member on here and lives 20mins away I drove through an it's now sorted. It's to do with the positive and negative terminals on the bulb touching so he drilled one of them out so it didn't make contact so all sorted now

Yeah mate have a look at the bulbs it will have 2 metal contacts on each side 2 positive and 2 negative drill one of these out on each side and it will solve ur problems this is what the lad did for me and it's sorted. Basically the bulbs were shorting out causing the fuse to blow
