[DML] LED's blowing fuses

[doctorDHD@xxxxxxx]

Josh,
 
Something is shorting out.
 
DO NOT use a larger fuse.  Find the short!
 
Take out all the bulbs and see if the fuse blows. The replace them one at a  
time.
 
Fuse 12 has power on all the time so I'm not sure why it's blowing when you  
press the headlight switch.
 
I bet if you recheck your work and replace the LEDs one by one you'll find  
the answer.

This doesnt  sound right to me but every since I upgraded my DMC's door 
bulbs to LEDs and  edge markers to LEDs my #12 10AMP fuse controlling 
the door lighting gets  blown every time I press the headlight switch 
into position 1 were it turns  on interior and front signal lights. 

anyone else have this problem ? or  any suggestions. clearly im going 
to try uping the #12 slot to a 15 or 20 if  it keeps blowing everytime 
the door lights are on with the side marker  lights.
