Default HID Foglights, fuse keeps blowing

I installed the following HID kit from DDM:

DDM HID Kit, 35W, 9006, 4500K
Bulb Color: 4500K
Bulb Type: 9006
Wattage: 35 Watt


The fuse keeps blowing. It worked initially when I installed the driver's side,but now that the passenger side is connected fuse keep blowing. Any suggestions from the club members?

Swap the ballast (passenger side to driver side) if fuse blow on driver side then it is your ballast.

boost up the fuse. i think right now it's probably 10a or so. you probably need to go up to 15 or 20a

Thanks guys. I believe it may be a short in the ballast. I did try and up the fuse from 15-20a and it still blew. I contacted DDM and they are swapping the ballast out so I will keep you all posted
