has anyone had probs with their brake light wiring, everytime i put a new fuse in and touch the brake pedal the fuse (pops) blows, i've had it to two lots of electricians now and neither could find any probs with the wiring. I thought it might of been a exposed wire but apparently not! Has anyone had this prob before as i don't want someone slamming up my ass when i've just bought some altezzas for it.

Did you put in LED lights in your altezzas maybe that can have something to do with it

if you did put LEDs then remember u'll probably need a resistor, i think for the adverage LED u'll probably need a 470k resistor (they sell for a whole 4c, so look out lol)
just running off FTO-101's post, if i'm wrong then blame him lol
cheers

But the thing is that i had this prob with the fuse popping when the original tail lights where in the car.
