Did you disconnect the entir socket on the parking lights? I would check each one individualy and see if the fuse stops blowing. You will go through a lot of fuses, but it's worth it if you fix it. I hate locating shorts. Such a pain in the ass. It could be so many things and it's always the last stupid thing you check. >:(

Yeah, the Doc is right. It's always a stupid thing causing the problem. I had this same problem after I changed my tailight bulbs and I traced it back to a pinched wire when I pit the tail light back in. thats where it was shorting out. So just look over all the wires too.

get a multi meater and use the cont setting. atach one side on a grown on the ar and them the other on the wires that go to the lights. take the bulbs out as well and if you get cont taht is your shortwire. re-wire hta wire and you should be golden.
