Halos and LEDs blowing fuses

Hey guys so I have gen 3s with the dual halos, and the three LEDs on each head light. I also have halo rings on each fog light. That being said I have them all wired to a switch inside the car so I can turn them on and off at will.

So the way I have them all wired is the drivers side is all wired together and grounded once, the passenger side is all wired together, grounded once and then the power is all wired together to one lead that runs to the switch, then one power that runs to the battery with a fuse between the switch and battery. (the switch is also grounded separately) but I keep blowing the size 30 fuse if I drive with them on , but if I turn them on while sitting, or idling, they seem fine.

My question is, do I need to seperatly ground them all or run the power differently?

I'm guessing run the power separately. Your grounds should be fine, try to run your power wires a different way!
