Default Don't expect a solution but eh

Alright so here is the problem, previously I installed new side mirrors w/ LED turn signals by splicing them into the side marker light's wiring. Well everything worked fine for months. I then months later installed a reverse glow dash and wired it into my headlight switch. And for the first 2 hours everything was working great but then the fuse controlling the side markers and dash blew. I replaced it and 2 hours later the new one blew. I put in a higher amp fuse (15 to 20) and 3 hours later that one blew. So I unplugged the reverse glow dash and instead wired it to my lighter putting in a reg 15 amp fuse back thinking everything would work the way it used to. But now even without the reverse glow dash plugged into the light switch the fuse still continues to blow every 2 hours of driving w/ the lights on which makes no sense because I put everything back to the way it was before I bought the dash. Well desperate for solutions I unplugged my side mirrors and the fuse didn't blow. Only now when the mirrors are connected will it blow which is stupid because the mirrors were connected the exact same way and worked for months. I inspected all wiring and everything checks out Any solutions? I am thinking about grounding the mirrors to another ground rather than the ground that goes to the side markers hoping it will make a difference. Thanks in advance guys.

With all this wire cutting and splicing...are you leaving any bare wires?

No I checked every single connection over and re-did any sloppy ones.
