start by replacing the bulbs. sometimes the filaments get loose when they are old and this causes the fuse to blow.

if it intermittently blows fuses in the future...reread that link I sent earlier. Hopefully this was just a fluke, but mine was 2 loose ground wires, so they worked for a while, then *poof*....another fuse. Hopefully you squished the gremlin.
