Default NEED help asap pls with brake light.

So i just got in the anzo tail light today, after plugging everything in, the blinker work, and the brake light work when i press on the pedal. However, when i go turn on the headlight, the brake light does not light up...i tried putting back in the regular light bulb and now its not lighting up either. i checked all the fuse under the hood and they all seems fine. i might have plugged the wrong one the first time, and i think it was the cause of the brake light not staying on now. any idea what happen or what else can i check for? thanks.

Did you see the white thing with all the wires and relays. There is a fuse box on the bottom of it. Stick your head in the foot well and look up. it will be behind a small white cover. I think the owner's manual has a better description of the location.

Eleanor, i just fixed the problem. thnx to Vlad1024. thnx dude. Eleanor, just make sure when you connect the connectors, that the wires match up. i accidently connected the wrong one and pressed on the brake causing the fuse to blow out. it also state on the light itself 7443, and 7440. its late so i forgot which one had 3 wires and which one had 2 wires. just make sure the wires match up before pressing on the brakes to check if they work.
