the RED / white wire must have grounded out. cap it off and check the fuses.

I have checked all fuses I have 2- r/w wires and 2- P/R wires and when I connect the 2 P/W the lights will come on until I turn on the headlights then they go off.

then one of those wires must be a constant and one the illumination. check them with a DMM or testlight. find the wire that is hot when the headlight switch is on and connect it to the p/w that isnt a constant.

most nissans dont include a ground in their factory harnesses. try regrounding your ground wire to metal and cap off the wire your hacker used then change your fuse.

it is possible if it still does not work, that they fried your relay switch by using an illumiation wire as a ground
