if it is that bad , go to a wreckers / junk yard and get the full wiring harness and replace the existing harness
wiring diagrams are in the workshop manual available from ant auto parts shop
Tools recommended for this job: wire stripper, wire crimper, volt meter, 4x quick wire connectors, 4x male crimp connectors, 4x female crimp connectors
First, tape the halo and/or LED wires to the back of the headlights to keep them from tangling.
Keep the pairs in order by their color, e.g. black, black (ground) and Red, Red (positive). Note: positive and ground wires might not always be black and red.
Remove some of the plastic shielding at the end of the wires to expose enough copper wire, next twist the copper together to strengthen it.
Shove the twisted copper into a crimp connector; crimp the location where wire and the connector end overlaps, wrap with electrical tape to secure it.
Two extra wires in black and red will be helpful to make the halo/LED wire longer to easier installation. Remove shielding: show copper: use the connectors: connect the positive and ground from the headlights.
Next step, turn the headlights inside the car to the [on] position.
Take the volt meter and connect the negative to the negative on the battery (please use extreme precaution when doing so).
The headlight harness usually will have [3] wires, generally red, black, green (headlights, ground, turn signal). Use the volt meter to test which wire will have power running through it (since the headlight is in the [on] position) which will be the headlight wire.
Use the quick connector to connect the extra wires (red) to the power wire on the harness and black to the ground. This will split the current coming from the harness. Crimp the connectors and use electrical tape to secure it.
Now connect the projector headlight halo wires and the harness from the car.
then the short is between the battery and switch. so take a test light and hook it on the positive battery cable and the other end to the wire going to the headlight switch (with switch disconnected) if the light is on, start pulling on the harness until it flickers and that will show where the short may be. If the light is off, then wiggle the harness until the light flickers, then find it. either way, you will find it.
Sounds like you have the ground for the radio hooked up to the illumination ground wire. Check for orange or orange/black wire coming from the radio harness. Did you buy the harness for the car as well? If so then just match all the colors of wires from the car harness and the radio harness. By car harness I mean the harness that plugs into the harness that the original factory radio plugged in to.
