Before I begin: Yes, I have checked the forum, but mostly discussed is for other models, not the B3!
So here we go....
Replaced one of my fog light bulbs earlier this week. Everything was fine til today, when I replaced a rear "side marker" bulb, and while I was their, I also replaced my tail light lens, which was cracked. Now my fog light fuse continuously blows!!! Is is possible with me fiddling around in the back I may have caused a short? Maybe Trunk harness issue? Maybe short at fog light connection itself?
SECOND QUESTION: would it be safe to place a higher amperage fuse for my fog lights, say a 20-25amp fuse? (fuse box says "15amp").
Any input and suggestions, as always, is greatly appreciated!

it may be your trunk wiring harnes shorting out, anything strange going on with your electrical other then that?
and i would not recommend installing a higher amperage fuse. There is a reason why its blowing, and by installing a different fuse you may just make the matters worst!
