Saw the thread on the LED license plate bulbs so I picked up a pair from the suggested seller in the thread. Got them in though they were quite sensitve and had to be in an exact spot or the wouldn't work.
As I was screwing the housing back in they both went out. Figured the headlights shut themselves off with the battery saver. Then I noticed the headlights were on but my dash lights were no longer working.
Had to get to work so did not get to fool with it. Hoping it is just a fuse just find it strange as the LED shouldn't be anywhere near the power draw.

Any thoughts?

headlights and parking lights are different circuits, so you probably blew the parking lights fuse.
 






Did not think to check the parking lights, could still see the headlights from the drivers seat.
 






HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I switched out fuses today and still no luck.

Here is s a list of what is not working that I have found:
License Plate Lights
Dash Lights (though mileage and compass work)
Climate Control Lights
Parking Lights
Fog Lights
Does not ding when you leave headlights on and car off

Any thoughts of what my problem might be
 












my best guess is the harness in the hatch is busted, and causing it to blow. check the wires at the flex join in the hatch.
