So I followed this tutorial on wiring up my fog lights:

HOW TO: S13 Fog Light Wiring : 240sx General Discussion (http://forums.nicoclub.com/how-to-s13-fog-light-wiring-t468396.html)

My lights worked for about 5 seconds, but now when I try and turn them on, 15a FR Fog fuse continuously blows. (The fuse in the drivers side fuse box)

I'm using an OEM fog light switch and I also have the blue relay. The wiring harness on my lights are also soldered correctly so I don't think it's shorting on my wiring harness.

What could be causing the fuse to keep blowing? I'm guessing a short, but do you guys know where it might be?

I had the same issue when i hooked up my 180sx/chuki foglights up to the factory harness.
What i found out was one of the wires was grounding out inside the housing of the foglight causing it to blow the fuse.

Sorry, I'm pretty new to all of this electrical stuff. What do you mean by grounding inside the housing, and how did you fix it?

You will have to take apart the fog light itself and check for any exposed wires or connectors. I had the same problem with the fog lights on my car and i had to open them both up an wrap the connectors with electrical tape. Are you using oem or aftermarket lights
