    Default New Int Lights need 10A?

    So I replaced my inner dome lights (top center and rear left/right) and blew my fuse. I didn't get the exact same size festoon bulbs but got the right number (can't remember it right now). Now I blew the fuse for the lights. The fuse I pulled (number 21 in my car) was a 10A. Should I replace it with the same amperage fuse or different? This is a weak spot for me

    I don't think a different fuse would be necessary, but thought I'd ask.

    Its blowing the fuse for a reason, probably a short. If you put a larger size fuse in place of it, you could melt the fuse box or the wires, causing a fire. Find the source of the short first.

    If you added anything to the circuit, then take that into consideration.
