headlight fuse busted again

llang fuse ang kasama ng wiring kit? some wiring kit ay separate ang fuse for the left and right side. you can isolate by removing 1 bulb at a time. sa left side muna then sa right side naman.switch from hi/lo beam. if both side are working fine then walang problema ang wiring kit. kung isa lang fuse mo which is rated 15amps that is too small for a 2 100watts bulb.

pinacheck ko sir sa electrician kanina.nung nakita niya nga din na isa lang ang fuse sabi niya di daw talaga kaya yan. kahit pa daw 30amp pa na fuse ilagay ko puputok daw talaga kasi isa lang.kaya ang gagawin niya lalagyan niya nang dalawang separate fuse kada ilaw yung relay na nakakabit sa kotche ko. yung subzero na relay. ok ba yun suggestion niya?

pwede lagyan ng 2 fuse yan kung 2 din ang relay. pero try mo muna yung isolation na 1 side at a time lang nag nakakabit na ilaw. this should be pretty easy to do.

tatanggalin ko yung bulb one at a time? example left side first.then on ko light? switch to high/low beam, then ibabalik ko yung bulb tapos yung right side naman tatanggalin tapos on light, high/low beam ulit sir?

at this time you have not found out what is causing the fuse to blow, you can do the math: power in watts divided by the voltage gives you the current. since you have two headlights, the current is doubled or you can run two fuses in parallel, each controlling one side. the headlight fuse however is safer if you use circuit breakers than using ATO or MINI fuses. running two fuses in parallel is safer- if one side goes out of commission, there is still one headlight in operation

try to disconnect both bulbs 1st. then turn on headlight. check fuse kung pumutok. then connect 1 bulb at a time.

update lang po.

ok na po. nangyayari kasi kahit naka bright na light ko naka on pa din ang low. sabay naka ilaw. kaya hindi kinakaya nang fuse, dont buy the subzero brand na relays. isa lang ang fuse nito. bilhin niyo yung dalawang fuse kada isang bulb.

inayos nalang yung wiring nang headlight ko.kaya hindi na sumasabay ang low/high beam. ok na. balak ko din palitan nang relay na bosch, pero gagamitin ko nalang yun wiring nang subzero. thanks sa lahat nang nagreply. very much appreciated mga sir!
