never go up an the amperage(the number) if it keeps blowing out then you have a problem that needs some attention, best to take it to someone.

well what exactly is the fuse for?  if its just some lights, you have a short somewhere.  philipwight is right.  the right thing for the right job.

The idea of a fuse is that it will "blow" before damage is done to whatever system it is protecting.  Checking what fuse keeps blowing should give you a clue as to what's wrong, and what needs to get fixed.  Going up in amperage by replacing a 10 amp with a 20amp fuse only hides a problem which is now likely to be a bigger problem as you blow something expensive, instead of a cheap fuse.

Fuses are mainly there to protect your wiring and circuits, up the amperage, and you risk burning a wire or damaging your electronics. Eitherway, you either have an electrical problem or too many add-ons on a particular circuit.
