Just put in the Ion yellow PIAA bubls for the fog lights. It looks great.. when they work. The problem is I keep blowing the fuse, not right away but after an hour or two of using them. I went with 25A in there. It is a 55W and it seemed like people were not having issues with them. Something not right or should I use a higher fuse? Thanks.
Anybody with PIAA fog light bulbs??

I am using the PIAA Extreme White Plus rated at 55W which draw about 4.5 amps. The foglight circuit is rated at 7.5A and should not be exceeded. Don't go with a higher fuse rating than recommended by Volvo - could create too much heat and destroy the wiring (or worse).

I had been running Ion Yellows in my fogs as well. Like you said, worked great, but both bulbs burned out in less than a year. Haven't had fogs for a few months till I ordered new HID's. Not sure if it was just bad luck or what.
