If you have to ask that you shouldn't be "drifting".

I just want to know if "drifting" could have had anything to to with my taillights. I dont see why i have to know about taillights to drift?

Sorry these guys are being asses, but yes you can blow fuses while drifting. The strain on the alternator increases voltage throughout the vehicle causing fuses to over capacitate and possibly increasing danger to the manifold.

Thanks for the help. Is there a way to keep the fuses from getting over capacitated?

You need more flux capacitors to compensate for the increased capacitance.

These guys are full of crap...

It's obviously low on brake light fluid, happens all the time, the fluid leaks when drifting...

You can't blow a light fuse, but I think it's possible to blow a heavy one.
