There is a short circuit in the wiring and it does not matter what amp fuse you put in they will keep poping. This is a safety feature to prevent damage to the rest of the electrical system. You will need to trace the short and fix it or take to a repair shop.

Look for frayed wiring under dash or near the light themselves, I agree with JC you have a short.
