Default hid lights blowing fuses

okay I've seen a couple of different post already, and I've noticed people having similar problems with h I d lights. now that I have my h I d lights in and I am not working blinkers or horn or rear brake light, kinda made me wonder, is there a thread specifically 4 h I d lights for our bikes so people know how to install them properly, or what to do to get up and prevent fuses from blowing so they could ride safely?

Do you have 35W or 55W HID's, If you have 55W then you might need to buy a harness for them.

i had my fuses keep blowing on mine when i started my bike up with the bright light on...it seemed that if i let it "warm up" then it wouldnt blow them...but i ended up fixing the problem by putting a 15 watt fuse in there...hasnt failed me yet

They are 35 watt slim ballast.. But since I took the front blinkers off, the fuse hasn't blown yet
