HID fog light issue

Hi everyone, I'm new to this site so I don't know if this will post in the right spot. But anyways, I have a 2010 G37s sedan and I installed new Xentec 8000k HID's in the headlight and 3000k in the fog light. They worked for about two months (some flickering here and there) but now, i was driving one night and one driver headlight turned on and both fogs were on. I switched them on and off a couple times and now the headlights are not turning on at all. The fuse is blown so I replaced it and as soon as I turned the lights on, the new fuse blew instantly. Please help!!

Did you wire these yourself? It sounds like you have a power wire touching a ground wire or grounding out. Recheck all you connections and make sure they are in good shape. I either solder all my stuff or use quick connects and wire sleeving

Did you just install the bulbs on the headlights or did you replace the entire HID system?

I wired them up myself. I cut the wires to the stock ballast and used connector sleeves and electrical tape for both. Could it be that there is two separate 15A fuses for each headlight and there is one 15A fuse for the fogs?

I know the fogs and the parking lights have their own fuse in the passenger side fender fuse box. :/ I blew mine install my custom LED's. I actually wired mine from there too
