Putting larger and larger fuses into the fuse holder means that at some point the wiring, or other electrical components, are going to become the fuse. If (e.g.) the wiring for a circuit is designed to carry 10A of current, and you put a 30A fuse in, a short circuit will allow 30A to flow through the wire. Which will heat up and melt, and possibly start a fire.

FIRE BAD!

So yeah, putting larger fuses in is definitely not the way to fix your problem. It sounds like the suggestions above should put you on your way to figuring out the actual problem and the way to fix it.

... Hmm, one extra thought. Did you replace any lights that are supposed to dim at the same time that you replaced the headlights? The dimmers on the LED lights in our house make the lights buzz. It's possible that there is something like that going on...
