Electrical help

I moved my wiring into the inner fender and now I have a problem

when the headlights are on the volt meter drops and does not recover

if I ground the POSITIVE side of one of the corner lights to the body it charges but the fuse blows and I loose the tail lights but the headlights are brighter (found out by accident)

So i tried grounding the - side instead and that did not do anything

Obviously a wire is grounding out. I would either pull all of the wiring back out or start doing continuity checks on the headlight wires (if you can find them in the harness). Something is touching where it shouldn't be.....
