Fuses keep blowing! HELP

Fuses keep blowing! HELP
It all started about 2 weeks ago when my fuses blew; #21 IG Meter (Cabin fuse box) and #4 Small Light (Engine bay fuse box).
I replaced the fuses and they kept blowing so there was a shortage somewhere. Every time I would put my car into Reverse, my gauges would automatically die which meant the fuse blew again; #21 IG Meter.
After realizing that, I thought about it and it must be my reverse lights that trigger the shortage. I had HIDs installed into my reverse lights which was one of my first mods to the car about a year and a half ago. The HIDs were fully functional till 2 weeks ago when the fuses blew so I took them out and put everything back to stock back there.
After putting everything back to stock, everything was perfect and functional for 2 weeks. Until last night....the #21 IG Meter fuse blew on me and now I have no idea what is wrong. I tried checking my wires to my reverse lights and everything was good, but there was still a shortage because I tried new fuses multiple times to test if I had fixed the problem.
After 3 hours into it, fuse #4 Small Light blew as well... so now I have 2 blown fuses that I have no clue where the shortage is at.
Any ideas?
I plan on just getting an electrical diagnosis on the car and have the professionals fix my car.. it is very irritating.

they'll probably have to trace each wire and inspect the wiring. when you say HIDs do you mean an actual HID kit like you'd get for your headlights?

^no he's talking about the kind you would use as fogs for the 07-08 models.
I have the HID kit with tailgater switch as my reverse lights too...love em.

^i bet...electrical gremlins are no fun.
best to have a pro find the culprit. you'll go nuts trying to locate it yourself.
