your wire harness most likely has a short in it, especially since it does it without the bulbs. I don't have a schematic for that car, and you would need one to really start to trace the problem. If the lights come on when the switch is off and the fuse is blown, then it is somehow bypassing all of that and getting power to the lights. you'll have to get the mutimeter out and start tracing the harness.
I understand why your cousin put in a 30 amp fuse, but thats not good. I would only do that in an absolute emergency.

The left headlight and the right headlight are both on two separate 20A fuses. The dash lights, parking lights, tail lights, etc. are on its own 15A fuse (probably what you are referring to as running lights). When you turn on the headlights with the combination light switch, the dash lights, parking lights, etc. also turn on.
The short is probably not in the headlight harness; but, somewhere in the wiring related to the other lights.

actualy i am refering to the headlights..when the fuse for the running lights blows the headlights turn onb automaticlly..i know the 2 20 amp fuses are good and the switch makes no diff. weird huh?? i am guessing i have a/some shorts and im gonna try to take it to a place to have em track it down..bummer
