Judging from your other posts it sounds like you know what your doing, but we can start with the obvious things first. Check for shorts and bare wires everywhere, especially where wires run through sheet metal. Are you using a different spec bulb than what the factory used? I put some higher watt bulbs in some factory driving lights once, and it was popping fuses left and right.

I have also had problems with the socket that holds the bulb before. The little spring tab that acts as the contact for the bulb looses tension and starts to rub on the bulb contact and it creates an arcand pops the fuse.

If it is none of those things, you may need ot see a pro, there is no shame in that. I hate doing electrical crap. I will do anything mechanical on my own cars, but when it comes to chasing electrons around, thats for someone else.
