Default fuse problem, need help quick.

i was installin oem fog lights. they work fine. then i tried to hook them up to the parking light wire so i can turn them on without the headlights.
something sparked and my parking lights and corner lights in the headlights dont work. 3 fuses blew, i replaced them all. what else could it be. heelp. thanks.

what could what be?

you shorted something and blew fuses... after you replace the fuse... you should be fine... as long as you're not shorting anything else again

There should only be only one fuse panel under the dash. It has a little cover over it w/ a diagram of which fuse is which.

one fuse box inside under the dash by the hood release handle (stick your head under there and you'll see)

and one fuse box in the engine.

section 8 of the owner's manual will tell you the list of all the fuses and where power is going to.
