Yup, check your fuses before anything. Also check for loose connections.

Bump???

#1 did you check your connections?

#3 if the above is okay, install your factory bulbs to see if it works. Or you can try this first either way.

All the connections are perfect, The problem was it blew a fuse. I replaced the fuse and had them on for around 20 mins and it didnt blow another yet. Just say if it blows another fuse, What can i do to stop it?

What watt kit did you get? 35w or 55w. They sell direct wire kits to draw the power directly from the battery.. WAY better that way.
