Sounds like you developed a short. How long does it take to blow, immediately, a few hours of use, a few days?

nope headlights haven't been touched for like months.. could a blow blub be causing it? open to any kinda suggestions cuz blowing fuses 1 after another is just getting annoying... my headlights were working then all of a sudden nothing, only the parking lights etc work. The fuse blows right when i turn the headlights on. how hard is it to track down a short.... i'm guessing it's pretty dam hard... any suggestions would be great thank you

What kind are they? They might be the cause. I have seen cheap bulbs overheat and the filament post melt to leave molten fragments that could cause a short and they still were able to light up.
