Fog lights as DRL's. C70 1998

I rewired my fog lights so they are now my DRL's. I used the wiring diagram from this site. Two days ago, my lights were out. I checked the inline 20 amp fuse and holder, they were all melted together. I had a Volvo tech look at it and he said that this did not just happen. "That by using the foglights as full-time DRL's, the connection slowly, overtime, melted. Foglights are meant to be on for short periods of time".
Does this make sense? I've replaced the inline fuse since then, but with a 15 amp fuse.
Thanks.
