Default Oznium 194 bulbs blowing a fuse

For as long as I can remember I've been using 194 wedge bulbs from superbrightled.com for my license plate, and other than not lasting quite as long as regular incandescent bulbs, I've never had any problems. I ordered the 194 bulbs from Oznium and so far I've blown two 10 amp fuses. I managed to have the lights on for at least 10 minutes before the first fuse blew, but the second one blew immediately. I have a set of regular incandescents in there right now, and I'd love to find a solution for this since I spent $20 on these bulbs. I will say that the Oznium bulbs seem to be a lot sturdier and brighter than my old bulbs, though.

Although its not usually recommended did you try UPPING the amperage for the fuse?

Normally thats a big no no but it could be they are drawing more power since its not OEM equipment? Thoughts?
