I just installed a 30" light bar from Nilight with the new hidden grille mounts from Caliraised. Got it all wired up, turned it on and it blew the fuse in the wiring harness. It originally had a 5A fuse, so I put the 7.5A fuse that it came with in there and it blew that one too. I rechecked the wiring to make sure I have everything correct, and I can't figure out what I've done wrong. Any ideas?

This is how I've got it wired up right now

Let's just call it my 401K.

Looking on their website it appears that light bar is drawing almost 15a. You just need to get the correct size fuse and should be good to go.
