HID fog light blew the fuse

Is that possible? I installed one set and it worked one day, then shut down the next day.
I bought another set and still didn't work. So now I am thinking its the fuse box.
Could u'all tell me where it is? Thanks.

You try switching the polarity on the ballast connection to the cars socket?

Yea, did that. Did not work.

I would check fuse in the IPDM E/R in the engine bay behind the battery.

Awesome pix. Thanks.
Do I need to take out the battery to access it or..?

I honestly don't remember. Here is more picture of it, https://www.infinitiscene.com/searc...wer-Distribution-Module-Engine-Room)-Fuse-Box

You dont need to. It slides right up just push on the tabs behind it. Theres wire slack behind it solely for that purpose. I did it on mine.

Ok, so I went ahead and changed out the 10A fuse for the fog light(man! didn't that fuse box properly secured with multiple layers!!)
Turned on the switch...they were lit!!! for 2 min. Then both of them went "poof"
I figured I need to increase the resistance of the fuse since I am using 55w HID.
Dropped a 25A in and it has been ok for couple hours. Finger crossed. Thanks again guys.

I tried to pull this out and let me tell you that was not a success. It appears to be stuck in pretty good. Took out the battery and had to our it back bc it it dark.
