Keep blowing headlight fuse
I知 an above average mechanic, but a terrible electrician. I keep blowing my headlamp fuse on my 12 FLHR. I have a truck light phase 6 and a couple of the daymaker aux lights. Nothing has changed on that end of the bike for about a year now. Everything was fine for that year.
About a month ago I started crawling down the worm hole on installing a street glide rear facia to my bike. I get the Tri bar light wired into my brake light harness and all of a sudden I知 blowing headlight fuses. From what I can tell according to the owners manual these two series of whites are on different circuits. All turn signals and brake lights work fine while the headlights are out. The bike has an atm-15 fuse there. I put a 20 there and it blew right as I turned on the ignition. I have a 30 there now and it痴 holding on. I don稚 want to be burning up wires internally, I know the fuse is a fail safe and I知 afraid the larger fuse is helping bypass that.

If the tri bar light is sold for this purpose and not something you cobbled together, than I would say it is not wired correctly. Remove it. When you remove it you may see what you did wrong.
