High beam fuse keeps blowing

[92awd4g63]

I removed my headlights and painted the housings black. They look really good and I really love them. When I put it back together The high beams wouldn't turn on. I noticed that the fuse was blown, so i figured that i would replace it. Well i had my wife the hit the high beam switch and i heard the fuse pop again. When you flip on the high beams, the fog lights turn off and the low beams stay on? Can some one tell me what i did wrong or what im missing.
Thanks in advance...Billy

Sounds like you may have pinched a wire somewhere.

Take off the covers of the lights in both wheel wells and look at all the wiring to both lights.

Crewzin's always right. I forgot that I had a similar problem, had some crud caught up in the wire plug on the back side and when I pulled the fender shield off I was able to clear the problem in no time. Took longer to take that silly thing off and then get it back on than it did to fix the problem! lol

I'm not always right. Besides the wiring, Billy might have done something to the bulb holder while taking apart the lights to paint them. Not sure what, but might be causing a short somehow at the bulb connection.

The only reason i had asked is because a frind of mine put new headlights in his car and the same thing happened and i ASSUMED that it would be to much coincidence that we both pinched a wire or something. Well the lesson learned here is never ASSUME anything. I had a pich wire on the passenger side headlight. Pulled it out, taped it up, and replaced the fuse...problem solved. Thanks for the help!!!!!!!
