Hey guys,
I'm trying to install an aftermarket headlight set from here:
http://www.americanmuscle.com/black-one-piece-headlight-8794.html

It's the simplest installation in the world and for some reason, the headlight fuse keeps blowing every time I turn on the lights. The headlight works but the parking lights, turn signal, LED's, high beams DO NOT work. Anyone know what it could be? It's driving me crazy Thanks!

I put those in last weekend. Could pop the hood & send you the wiring combinations I used if that would help.

Hey, that would help me so much, please send me the wiring combination. I was able to get the headlight low beans working and turn signals. Now im trying to determine whether the LED's or parking lamps are blowing the fuse. Thank you, cant wait to get your wiring diagram!

You have an short to ground somewhere and thats why you keep blowing a fuse. Check your wiring for cracks and stuff, any bare wires touching ground
