Your turn signal ground might be bad.

look more at a 12 volt wire arond the headlight corners i looked at a ewd and all that runs through the circuit is them sounds like a direct short to ground.

Default maybe related

sometimes when you put on the ritght turn signal momentarily, not clicking it so it stays, i hear a kind of crackling, electrical noise. almost like its trying to short. i too have a 93 ls400, but is a canadian model. the fuse has not shorted yet. i think the switch itself is wearing out in the steering column. maybe thats what you are experiencing.

You should NEVER use a bigger rated fuse than the stock one.If you do,you stand a chance of melting part of your wireing harness.
