[delay_me]

ok so i went to the yard and picked up a pair of yellow headlamps for my 521 for $5.81, came off a benz but after installing them i noticed that one of my fuse was popped and so i put a new one in and it popped that one too, im thinking its too much for my dingy fuse box or something.. help!!! how do stop that from happenning??? thanks guys i appreciate your help

I think you must of connected them wrong. HE! I'll go check the color codes tomorrow but the colors codes are for a 620. My recommendation is to disconnect the fog lights and then plug in a fuse. If the fuse blows when the fog lights are disconnected, then its not the fog lamps...

I say dont use them if they pop fuses and the stock lamps work.

I have the VERY same lights on my 620 & im using them as high beams. No issues at all. The wires [2] coming off the MB lights are the same color if i remember right. Id check for a bad connection at the light. Did you install them as high beams?

make sure that one of the light prongs isnt shorted to the housing. If it is I assume the light would come on just by mounting it in the housing then completeing the ground.

easiest way around that.... wire in an aftermarket 30 or 40 amp relay with a switch. that way they could be used as fog lights. thats what i am goinna do with my benz inners when i find them again. but also check that tis not shorting out like hainz said.
