Headlight doors sometimes blow

Does anyone have any ideas why the pop up headlights blow fuses and what i can do to stop them doing so.
The lights still come on but sometimes wont actually pop up ?
The person i bought the car off had re wired the headlights and seemed to have done a bad job of it has anyone got pictures of the wireing and how it shold look like

HeadLight Short ?

Sounds to me like you might have a Intermittent Power to Ground Short in the Head Light Harness . Check the wiring , that should not be Happening .
