OK, I am pretty handy around the house, but electrical stuff makes my head hurt sometimes.
I can swap/install ceiling fans, fixtures, Garage door openers, etc. no problem as long as everything works, but if it doesn't, I am lost.
I am trying to replace an old motion sensor floodlight with a non sensor bulb setup. The old motion light had a wall switch for on/off in the house. I took the old motion floodlight housing down (disconnected the hot, neutral and ground) and replaced the old halogen (unknown wattage bulbs) bulb-fixtures with standard (E32) LED floodlight fixtures and bulbs (12W x2) and now it trips the breaker every time I put it under load and I cannot figure out why. I used the same in-wall round fixture box so I didn't have to cut stucco to fit a new one (that seems to be a bit larger for some reason...), but I removed the in-wall round fixture box and then replaced it. It's mounted to wood (under the stucco), so I don't know if there is now a grounding issue causing the short, but the setup is exactly the same as it was previously when it worked...
Here is a pic of the new light wiring (pardon the use of black wire for the bulb-to-housing ground, I didn't have any spare green colored wired.

Is there a ground wire from the house somewhere that is supposed to connect to the in-wall round box that I am missing? I didn't see anything when I took it out of the stucco initially.
Thoughts?
Should I just tear the whole house down and start from scratch?
