That is definitely cheap. Possibly could make it cheaper by removing the wheels at home and taking them in but then you are causing yourself more grief.
Do not fit a larger fuse to a system if it keeps blowing. If it's blowing then there is a fault in the system that is causing the fuse to blow before damaging the rest of the system.
Take the known working bulb and stick it in the non working side. If it works then you know it's just a bulb. If it doesn't work you've got an electrical fault.
Battery is easy to change. Disconnect negative lead then disconnect positive lead. Remove the battery clamp, lift out battery, fit new battery, refit clamp, refit positive lead and then negative lead.
I'd recommend everyone to have a torque wrench. At the end of the day every nut and bolt has a torque setting. Although that torque wrench in the link won't do your wheel bolts.

Just realised it hasn't been asked yet, are you 100% certain they are the correct pads?
