Fuse for cigarette lighter
You can always put in a SMALLER fuse; putting in something that allows more current to flow is always dangerous. The circuit protection (fuse, fusible link wire, circuit breaker) is there to protect the wiring from being overloaded, and acting like a heating element. If the wire overheats, it can melt through its insulation, and that of any adjacent wires in the harness, creating a cascade failure of many circuits, potentially resulting (rapidly) in the whole vehicle catching fire.
