Generally, putting in a higher amperage fuse is a bad idea.

I am running HIDs with the stock fuse and have no issues.

^Are you running the stock wiring harness or an aftermarket one that runs straight to the battery? I always recommend using a separate wiring harness for such things as HIDs or other higher draw accessories.

Stock, haven't had any issues with it yet. Except when I had a bad ballast, but since replacing that it seems to be fine. I think they are only 35W HIDs.
