Headlight problem

My Mazda headlights (main beam and dipped) stopped working the other day, but I still have sidelights.

I checked the fuse and it had blown. I got a new one and replaced it but the fuse blew straight away when I put the lights on.

What's the problem and why does it continue to blow fuses?

Short circuit cause by moisture ingress and/or corrosion somewhere.
