LED's don't draw much current so I doubt that it is blowing the fuse because of the additional draw. That and the fact that you put a fuse that is 5a more and it still blew makes me think that there is a short somewhere.
If you just keep increasing the size of the fuse and there is a short, you will wind up with much bigger problems.
It takes a couple days to blow the fuse. For instance I replaced it on Friday and noticed the lights were not turning on on Sunday. I'm not sure how to even go about diagnosing the issue since it takes a while for it to blow..
