Instrument lights fuse size

Anybody have problems with the instrument lights fuse?
It looks like it says 2A under it, but mine keeps popping and 2 amp seems awful small for all those light bulbs. The labeled picture on here shows like a 30 amp fuse in that same location! A 2 amp fuse has a wire in it that's about the thickness of a hair...lol
What else runs off that fuse? Well, whats supposed to run off it I mean to ask, we all know how PO's have added and changed all kinds of things.

The only electrical work I have done is replaced the fuse to the battery gauge and got it working. Also I updated to HEI, but that wire is out in the engine bay and so was the battery gauge fuse wire.

I hardly drive it at night, just twice in the past two weeks and it was working fine when I first got it. I heard the fuse pop one time and that was in the day time with no lights on, so something else must be hooked into it.
