Default Light problem

Hey, I've got a 97 eclipse GST, and i recently replaced the stock headlights with a set of projectors. Everything was working fine, except I had to hook up the halos. So yesterday, I decided to hook up the halos, and I had already removed my corner lights from the bumpers, so I jsut had the wires there, so I hooked up the halo wires to the corner light wires. It worked fine at first, but then once I started driving, ALL the dash lights went out, so now i cant see my speed at night, and when I turn the lights on with the car off it doesnt make the obnoxious beep anymore to let me know my lights are on. Along with that, now when I turn my lights half on, just to the parking lights position, NOTHING comes on. I dont know if its a fuse, or a ground, or anything. Any ideas would help. Thanks a lot!

Who the hell knows. Random ones blow. Check em all! There is a box by the footwellon the drivers side and one under the hood.

Check your fuse in the engine bay thats labeled ( I think) Tail lights. When my cluster lights and interior went out it was that fuse. Weird how that fuse controlled the interior and dimmer switch. Anyways just go buy a 3 dollah fuse puller/detector from Autozone. Best investment i ever made

Even if it doesnt look blown, change it anyways, because you cant always see it.. Should be a fuse labeled (HeadLamp) change that one..
