Yes, I'm running stock B/U bulbs.

However, I did hookup and plug into a neighbor's travel trailer to my trailer plug in order to see if my stock rear view mirrors might be sufficient to see behind me without having to use clip-on mirrors. After that episode my back-up lights no longer worked.

After talking to a couple of neighbors, that IMO, are certainly more experienced with auto mechanics than I, they thought replacing the present 10 amp fuse for the B/U light with a 15 amp was OK considering that I will be using it in the near future on my trailer that has B/U lights.

Do you think using a 15 amp to replace a 10 amp in this situation is OK?

My last truck was a '04 GMC that had pulled this same trailer of mine and the GM dealership suggested at the time replacing a burnt out trailer braking fuse (not B/U light fuse) with one that was 5 amps higher would be safe to do so. I don't know. I'm asking is this OK?
