Actually, it could be a few things, headlight switch, BCM, ground... However, since you keep blowing a fuse, there has to be a short. I would start with the switch. As far as the fuse size, never use a larger amp fuse that is called for. Remember, you want the fues to blow before something catches fire.

Let me know what you find.
