Hi,

The harness behind the headlight bulb is pinched in the covering where you can't see it which is causing the circuit to short. It's very common on your Accord. You have to flip up the light then pull off the trim and remove the headlight and get to the harness. If you remove the covering you should see where it's pinched. Honda offers a whole subharness to fix this problem fairly cheap.

Let me know if you need more help.
