Put an after market stereo in this car and now clearance light fuse keeps blowing when lights are turned on. I spliced into (not cut) two wires from original radio harness, one for ground and the other for 12volts with the key on.

The only thing I can say is to recheck the wiring under the dash to make sure nothing was cut or damaged. That is the only place you worked.
