blown lights again (tailight, side markers, aftermarket fogs, inside gauge face).HELP

All of a sudden my lights go out yesturday during the rain as i was driving. This has happened before(not not necessarily in rain)...so i checked fuses...my relay box#2 had a blown fuse(15a), so i changed it. Turned on lights, boom, something blown again...this time its the fuse block below steering wheel (TAIL L. fuse 7.5a) so i change it...turn lights on, same fuse, goes out, ---after a while i put in fuse of smaller amount 5a...nothing happened. So im stuck ... i checked all fuses and they're all fine.

I'm going to my local speed shop guy to take a look at it, cus i went to him before for these kinds of problems....but is there anything else i can do before i go to him to fix it?

-I hope its not the wire going from my switch to the fuse block!!!

thanks in advance.

Are your bulbs pulling higher wattage than a stock bulb? If you have higher wattage bulbs in your ligths that could cause it

Check all your bulbs to see if they sit flush or making direct contact within the sockets. I had similar problems. I re-inserted all the bulbs, and the fuse blowing went away.
