I keep blowing #1 fuse (drivers side high beam) on my 91 318i when I switch on the high beams. I ditched the original sealed beam lights for some Hella H1/H4 lights a few years ago. All the bulbs in the H1/H4 are 55/60w so no high wattage bulbs. I replaced the first four fuses from 7.5 for 15 amp. Today I even swapped out the Hella's for a set of Cibie lights that I had in my parts bin and same result. I even installed a new headlight switch and I'm still blowing #1 fuse. Any ideas of what the cause may be? BTW, the Cibie's are awesome, better light pattern than the Hella's.

It would sound like there is a wiring fault that is causing excessive current draw.The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

That's what I was afraid of, a short somewhere in the wiring. I hate electrical problems...At least I'm in an urban area where I don't run my high beams much.
