Boot neon/blown fuse.

[taylooor]

Hey guys, was trying to hook up one of those neon lights in my boot yesterday.
Got about half way through and couldn't for the life of me figure out why it wasn't working.
Shortly after I realised i'd blown the fuse.
I now have a couple of spares. The interior light is a 10, would it be too risky amping it up to a 15 in order to accommodate for the neon?

Also, should I put the fuse in THEN hook up the neons again.
OR
Hook up the neons THEN put the fuse in?

Thanks guys!

Option 2.
I wouldn't increase the amperage of the fuse, a neon wouldn't draw much power.

Cheers.
So hook up the neons then put a new 10 fuse in?

Yes. If the fuse blows again you have a short somewhere, so check all the wiring.
