well there is 2 yellow, 2 green, i joined those back together, but there's 2 maroon, and 2 white colored wires, part that im confused about is do i connect the maroon to the white? Fuses are good, the wires are located on the rear passenger side right above the leaf springs on the frame..

Guess what: dash, parking lights, and tail lights are ALL on the same circuit from the headlight switch. Likely you blew that fuse when you cut the wires.

Look for a red 10 amp fuse labeled "TAIL" in the fuse box (lower dash, left side of dash).

hey your completely right my fuse was blown wen i cut those wires, but the only problem that i have now is i replaced the fuse and as soon as i turned the switch for my headlights it blew out again. so i taped up the wires just to make sure they werent touching the frame or anything like that and i put another new fuse and it still blows immediately wen i turn on my headlights. what causing this PROBLEM and how do i fix it??? please and thank you..

There is a power wire touching ground or bare metal somewhere. Start chasing wire and look for bare spots.
