Have you noticed moisture inside of the light housing? If so maybe you are getting a short.

indeed, whenever you blow a fuse like that then there is a short, but you say it worked fine and blew 5 minutes later...have you done any sort of wiring?

test the switch to see if it is stuck open if its in the off position...it should not read 0 ohms...or anything close to it. when the switch is on there should be little resistance...something close to 0 ohms. or you could just check it using the nifty diode check feature...

They probably unplugged it incorrectly because you can't just unplug the corners from the alarm system. There is one wire on the alarm system that gets connected to a white wire under your dash which controls all of your parking lights. So they might have "ghetto rigged" it to bypass the front corner lenses.
