Don't do that. You'll cause a fire.

It only takes "trying" to overload a wiring loom to start the wires off burning especially with a 30A fuse in a circuit 10A circuit such as the secondary lighting circuit with 0.35 wiring!

You will have a short to positive somewhere on the circuit meaning time to trace it and look for the break and repair it. If you've had any work done at all recently that will be a good place to start looking. Fialing that bring it over to me in Nottingham and i'll trace it for you.
