Fuse G and H keep blowing

Help, not sure what went wrong. Suddenly fuse G and H keep blowing when I put light switch on. Even with rear harness disconnected it blows as soon as you put on switch to second level.

Believe those are related to the headlights

Yep, check connections up to and including the headlights

Thanks I have it narrowed to the front park/turn signal lights. The light itself has 3 wires (blue, black, brown). Not sure where to connect them. I have a light blue wire and red/yellow. I think the signal light is not original and does not match wiring diagram.

I think 1979 Spider fuses 3,4,5 and 6 are head lights and 7 and 8 are parking lights, license plate lights, dash lights and cigar lighter light.

I don't think there can be a common problem for both fuses blowing. The front park/signal light wires and sockets is where I would begin as you say you have the rear disconnected and the fuses still blow. Fuse G is right side front and fuse H is left side front. I would remove the bulbs and inspect the light sockets for possible shorts between the bulb contact and the metal housing. For both fuses to be blowing it sort of points so something being incorrectly assembled. Electrically the fuses do not protect a common circuit.
