Exclamation 2005 V6 Electrical Issues. Please Help I'm Desperate

I purchased an AeroForm V6 grill with fog lights, and a street scene wiring harness. I followed all instructions that came with the wiring harness except for the switch placement inside the car. Instead of putting the switch in the car, i cut the switch off of the harness and connected the wire directly to the wire in the factory headlight switch loom (red wire with a white stripe is what the instructions said i should connect the switch to). I'd figured the fog's would always be on and i wouldn't have to worry about a switch then. After re-connecting the terminal, everything seemed fine. the headlights and fog lights worked fine. i drove all day, no problems. turned all of the lights on at night and all seemed well. about 10 minutes after turning the lights on, everything went off. the headlights, fog lights, and driving lights went off and the engine died. I turned the light switch off and started the car. Car started fine, however if i try to turn on the headlights, driving lights, turn signals, or hazards the engine dies immediately. none of the bulbs will actually light, the engine just dies. i removed the entire harness (all wiring, relay, and fuse) but still the car will not work. no lights and the engine still dies. There is a loud clicking sound from under the hood when i turn on the headlight switch that was not previously there. PLEASE HELP ME. Anyone, please tell me what i've broken and how to fix it. thank you very much!!

You need to wire as per the harness instructions, or use a GT switch. The SJB will not tolerate the additional load of just splicing into the headlight wire. Hopefully you didn't take out the SJB.
SJB= smart junction box
