Daylighters keep blowing fuse

Ok, I wired up 4 KC Daylighters today. I used 2-30 amp relays. 1 Relay for 2 lights, and 1 more for the other 2. I have a 30 amp fuse between the battery and the relays. The problem is that It keeps blowing the 30 amp fuse. It blows it after about 1 minute every time I turn on the lights. What is the problem here?

Thanks,
Andy
 






Are you running one power line to them? Remember 30+30=60
 






The power wire is 8 gauge, then it splits into two 12 gauge wires to the relays. Since I have two 30 amp relays, does that mean that I need a 60 amp fuse?
 






A 30 amp fuse should be plenty. You have a wire going to the wrong place thats causing the fuse to blow.
