i am installing my hella's and everything seems to be hooked up right but i am still blowing the fuse on the relay? i ran the black wires to the lights and then grounded each light as shown in the illustration. the red wire runs to the battery. i grounded the blue one to the firewall. i ran the green wire to the fuse panel for another power source instead of hooking them directly into the high beams, this also is plugged into the inside switch. then the yellow to the inside switch and grounded the switch with the brown one. i must have something hooked up wrong because whenever i flip the switch it just blows the fuse on the relay?? anyone have experience with these lights?? the instructions aren't all that instructive?? any help would be great..

You've got a bad ground somewhere man. Check them all.
