After work I started my car, let her warm up then turn the lights on, I drive out the carpark and was coming to a red light, I looked down and saw, my sound system not working, my cluster, my aircon lights and trip computer back light, so I grabbed my phone and used it for light, my phone then went dead so I pulled over, I then had a old woman in a nice Verada say I have no tail lights at all or brake lights? I then checked all the fuses in the car, all were still good, I then checked under the hood and looked where the group of 6 fuses are for the lights, both 10Amp fuses where blow closest to the motor, I then subbed them from my horn and sound fuse frOm inside and worked fine? Why did both fuses blow out of nowhere? It all worked fine 4 hours before this happened.

Im hoping for your sake it was just a coincidence.

If it happens again there is something that needs to be looked at.

I think is may be something to do with the LED mod you just did

Metal in fuses get brittle with age and fall apart for no reason (current heats it up, no current cools it down - this cycle leads to metal fatigue). Have a look inside the dead fuses, if they are blown from over current, there will be a small blob on each end of the gap and the plastic may be bubbled from heat. If its just age, there will not be a blob. If it happens again soonish you need to do some detective work though.

I looked at the fuse, it was all split and bits missing on the side but no debree in the fuse box, so must have been condensation in the fuse, it was muggy that night, check the LED handles and the shrink wrap was covering all the exposed wire on the back of the led so wasent that :); I got a mate to go behind me on the way to the BP for more fuses,

funny night though, he came and helped me, got me going with all lights, then was stuck another hour because his imobileiser was stuck on :), pretty funny
