cool cant wait to see some pics! one of the lights or the power wire is short circuiting on some part of the body or frame. its prolly best to run them off their own switch. ill look for a diagram or maybe draw one up.

Edit: might be too much current draw too. do you know if they are 55W or 100W? might want to use at least 14 gauge wire. the fuses he was putting in were probably too small. id use at least 30amp fuse and heavier duty switch

wire them like this except for 4 lights(so just splice into the wire from terminal 87 to make 4 wires) and then make sure each light is grounded. i would use a relay (like it shows) so you dont have that hot wire running all the way to the switch which would cause a big voltage drop.
