sometimes...he would turn the car off with the lights off...and when he would turn the car on again a light would be out

wat would happen if he put a 20W fuse where that 15W fuse is...?

Then the 30A would blow if that diagram is right for our car.

Just making sure... but the 10A fuse is in the fuse box? If so, what is it's intended purpse? (Look at the cover...)

I'm almost certain that headlights would have a higher fuse than 10A...

And it's a HID kit and not a retrofit?

Good point. No HL would have a 10A fuse. Maybe he's feeding off the wrong power?
