Default replaced the fuse but hella driving lights still wont work, ideas????

So I was simply driving with the new black majic hella driving lights and they just turned off. So i looked at the inline fuse and saw it was blown. It took quite a bit to actually get the fuse out, when it blew it basically glued itself to the fuse holder. Put a new one in and still doesnt work! Ideas?? Help? Could it need a new fuse box?

Did you wire it yourself? Proper wireless size? If too small the current will heat the wires up causing it to mealt.
Sounds like your positive wire went to ground some where.
Easiest way is check the voltage at your source, then proceed to first splice or electrical fitting till you find dead spot.
Not too hard just takes time, I personally love tracing down electrical issues, consider it a challenge.
Get yourself a test probe light, easier to use then a voltmeter at times. Make sure it's 12v, they come in different sizes, pretty cheap too. Good luck
