Clearly the fuse won't fix the flickering and, more importantly, never install a higher amp fuse in a circuit that isn't designed to handle the load! 
schulrog is likely correct that you need some electronics to stop the flicker. If you haven't already, there are a ton of threads in the Parts, Accessories, and Mods section that deal with replacing fog lights and how to deal with the various issues surrounding this mod...

I known but wonder why haven't fuse for fog light.
Not sure why it really matters at this point since the fuse isn't blown. I can't emphasize enough that you don't want to mess with things and/or take the [horribly bad] advice of your "buddies" and replace the fuse with one of a higher amperage. If something shorts out, your wires may melt before the fuse blows...

As others have said, it's probably fuse number 5, 6, or 19 based on the information you posted...the fog light circuit is most certainly connected to a fuse!

Thanks for your comments. Check #5 and #6 in 50A already, #19 is empty.
