    Im just going to run LEDs in the rear and clear regular bulbs in the front for now. Could it be possible that one of the LEDs might be defective, and that's why it kept blowing my fuse?

    does it blow your fuse if you put it in the rear, I never tried it, but I would assume they are on the same circuit, so if it doesn't blow your fuse in the rear, then I don't see why it would blow the fuse if you put it in the front

    as far as clipping the wires, just crab a small set of scissors or diagonal pliers, u don't have to damage the plastic at all, post up a pic of your bulb, that will help if it's not the same bulb style i'm talkin bout

    instead of quick reply, you hit go advanced, and on the top there are the font sizes, smiley faces, and then the paperclip icon, that's to attach photos
