Default Strange and frustrating problem...Please Help!

I recently purchased a set of those angel eye headlights from Viniati. I installed them and they worked great (no people flashing me brights and I can see fine by the way). About a week later though my driver side started fogging up after it rained really heavy one night. So I arranged with Viniati to get a new set. Well I took off the headlights no problem and when the UPS guy got to my house he didn't have the new set with him. So I told him to come back when he had them because there's no way a mobbin around with no headlights on my car. Well when I put the lights back on the passenger side light it up fine. However, I think the positive and negative wires touched on those when we were testing the drivers side so now neither of my halos work. The halos are wired to my running lights, which no longer light up either (because of the touching of the wires possibly?). so now my running lights do not work. I reset the battery, still no. I checked all the fuses in the fuse box, none blown (at least I think because while I was resetting the battery I had a friend check them and he said they were good). And tonight I noticed that now my taillights are not working either. It also might help to know that my clock inside the car reset, however all my windows and sunroof worked fine. Also, when I was in this rush to pull out the lights, I accidently broke the 194 parking bulb, but I already replaced that. Any input form anyone, because I am baffled.

You have a fuse out somewhere... check the fuse panels in the bay and also inside the car under the dash... those lights are cheap and fog up easily... the downside to the aftermarket cheap projectors...

there are two fuse panels... check them both.

Thanks for the info.

Ya the weather strip but aligns with the hood to keep the rain out was not on properly, and since then I've washed my car twice and it was out all night in the rain...not a single trace of condensation in the headlighs. I figure I better replace it anyway to be safe. So is there a chance that I blew more than one fuse? Does anyone know where the fuse for the running lights and taillights are located?

there's only 2 places to look for the fuses one is next to ur clutch/brake lay down on ur back and look up. its all numbered and use a fuse tester or pull out each one to check. the other one is next to ur driver side headlight/stock airbox. flip the cover and the fuse schematics is on it.

always unhook the battery when dealing with electronics, if ur testing for power use direct from the battery since its all 12v.
