NEED HELP! Rear light fuse

Ho everyone, Im in a bind. I replaced my headlights with aftermarket ones and now my real lights won't work. Upon further inspection the interior 10 amp fuse keeps blowing the second it get power.

After reading the wiring diagram it appears that the front side marker lights are on the same circuit as the rear brake lights.

Side marker lights are working fine.

It's acting like a ground fault

Has anyone else experienced this issue or have any idea why it would blow?

 

Re-install the OEM lights. If that fixes the problem, you know what the culprit is. You didn't specify the brand of aftermarket headlights, but I'm guessing low quality Chineseium. Most folks don't have issues with the more expensive, but quality products from companies like Morimoto, etc.

 

Unfortunately the oem ones are gone. These are from LED factory. They weren't cheap (1,000) but yeah not high quality

 

Put a 15 amp fuse in and if keeps blowing it you prolly have a ground issue. Are you running resistors with the LED's? I've run into this before with a Ford F350 and resistors and an aftermarket flasher relay fixed my problem.

If it just started after replacing headlamps, Head back to the headlamps and see if you pinched a wire during install. Hard to believe you would have Vegas like odds on a direct to ground short at the same time you installed your new headlamp assemblies.
