Default Hazard/Blinker Fuse keeps blowing

ALong time Ago I decided to put High beam Headlights in the lowbeam bulbs after seeing another forum member do this. I didn't Have any problems with this for 4 months and than about a month ago my blinkers quit working and so did my hazards. The indicators on the dash wouldn't work and everytime I would pull the hazards the fuses would blow instantly. So I put stock headlight low beam bulbs back in, that didnt fix the problem. I put new front Indicator bubls in, and that didnt help. Today I bught two new flashers and the fuses still keeps blowing. I have blown over 10 20 amp fuses trying to figure out the problem. I can't think of anywhere else to look or try to find the short, anyone have any ideas?
I really dont like driving around without any indicators. I just want this fixed. Please help
Thanks

Do you have enough blinker fluid?

You must have a short in the flashers. Could be in the front wiring or what goes to the rear. You are just going to have to check out all the wiring for both front and back. Pull all the bulbs and turn on the flashers and see if it blows the fuse. If it does then it is in the wiring. If it doesn't then start putting back in the bulbs until it does blow.
