It's a cavalier, just burn the car. Lol, just kidding. You may have a short in the wiring. That would be my best educated answer.

check the ground on the fender and make sure it's a good connection.

Check to make sure the correct amp fuses are in. I believe headlights are a 15 amp fuse for the cavalier.

Ran across a post that helped me, these cars are prone to corroded wires in the front, I found mine close to one of the light plugs, look for swells in the insulation
