Lightronics Question

I searched but found nothing on this subject so wanted to ask. I bought a set of Lightronics headlights off a forum member here. I installed them, upgraded the Low Beam fuses to 15amp as needed and thought everything was great.

Low beams work fine, Fog lights work fine, Passenger side High Beams and side marker lights work fine. Issue is Drivers side High Beam and Side Marker lights. As soon as i turn the lights on they blow their fuses immediately.

I put the stock lights back in, no issues so i know it is from the new Lightronic headlight. I took off the back cover and the wire coverings literally disintegrated falling off in a million pieces leaving plenty of exposed wire. So i got some of the liquid wire covering and set off at trying to coat the wires, it was tedious and i did the best i could, however after plugging back in the fuses still blow immediately.

I thought it was weird the side marker light goes out too, not sure how a short in the headlight will blow the fuse for that light but they must be related somehow. My questions is, has anyone ever had a factory light rewired? any other suggestions to try and fix the issue?

seems my only options may be to buy one light or try to rewire the existing but looks to be a long shot. Thanks in advance!
