I turned on my lights yesterday evening to find that although the dipped beam came on I had no dashboard lights. Having inspected it myself I found that a 10amp fuse had blown relating to the bright illumination. I replaced the fuse but as soon as I put the lights back on it blew straight away. Can anyone give me a clue? The fog lights have also stopped working. Any help would be gratefully received.

Cheers Lee,
Had it checked out today, It's now fine. He removed the stereo and fiddled around with the fuse box. He reckoned the stereo was crushing some wires behind there ( It's only been fitted 7 months! ) 45 mins and £30 lighter all's good. Thanks for your help.
