Apathy Kills
First off, welcome to the board.
Secondly, please do not pad your post count with fluff posts like "anyone?".
We have gaps in traffic, be patient.
If no one is around to answer your question, use our search engine.
Lastly, if you've got a short in your headlight wiring harness, I would make sure you've got it isolated before you invest in a new sub-harness. Talk with the chaps at your local dealer's parts counter about the short.
When it comes to finding the harness, you've got two options: Hit the junkyards and start searching or go to the dealer and prepare to open your wallet wide.

Still here... sorta...
I'm pretty sure that aftermakert harnesses are sold as well. I know I got one with a set of sharkeyes I bought like 6 years ago. Of course, that was on my Civic so... :run:
I'd take Dave's advice and just hit your local junk yard for another harness. Wiring is fairly tough to diagnose and hopefully the parts that you can see are the only problem areas. Sorry to hear about your misfortune. :hs:

as far as the fuse check that the right fuse is in there, amps should be labled on the fuse box cover, I forget if that is under hood or under dash, and there may be one in both. The previous owner may have had the same problem and "fixed" it by bumping up the amperage of the fuse.
