Default Dash lights keep blowing fuse

Ok, so my dash lights will work until you turn on the head lights. I figured out that it was blowing the 7.5 amp fuse, but not all the time. It will work for a while, then blow it again. But again, if I turn the headlights off they will come on. I figured it's a grounding issue, But I don't know where to even look.

Any suggestions? it's getting a little frustrating.

Thanks!

My thought is the headlight switch.

My car does this whenever I manually shift into a low gear (automatic) when the headlights are on. It seems there may be a short in the illuminated gear indicator next to the shifter. You may want to start there or start by checking out the headlight switch if they blow out immediately when you turn the lights on.
