wiring up 4 194's in the front of the car keep blowing fuses.

well i have the new diamond cut headlights and im wiring up the city lights right now and i am guessing i need a relay in there or something ive blown about 5 fuses up to a 25 amp. im usually decent at wiring stuff but it is late so i will probably do it tomaro after some rest. heres how i wired it.

Your toggle switch essentially connects the two terminals of your battery together. That may be the problem...

It's really unnecessary to go straight to the battery for what you're doing. If you can find the main power feed under the dash it'd be alot easier and cleaner.
