No headlights or int lights help!!!

Ok so I recently bough a 84 gs shell..

The previous owner wanted to put a cage in the car so he took all the wiring down and striped some wires...

I'm trying to put it back together and I've managed to get just about everything working minus the headlights or and lights at all I have no lights other than breaks when I press the pedal...

I've traced the wire for the head lights that comes from the main relay by the driver strut tower... and it goes to a small 2 pin connector on the ignition... problem is that's the other wire goes to the fuse box and keeps popping the fuse... and I think that has something to do with it... I took a few pics I'm hoping you guys can tell me what I did wrong or she'd some light on this

I'm having headlight and dash light headaches myself. Check your fusable links and grounds. I have an aftermarket haltech so all my fuses a s relays are different.

But get your hands in a volt/amp meter and a service manual with wire diagrams etc.

I've given up and I'm bringing in a cert auto electrician to sort it out, cause everything else is working and it's driving me nuts.
