Does it blow right away when you put in a new fuse or does it blow when you turn on the lights. We need a bit more information.

Since you say that you loose your taillights when the fuse blows, I would look at the wiring and the sockets the bulbs plug into. From what you say it sounds like an intermittent problem and the sockets are the easiest to check and the most likely to be a problem.
