Exclamation parking lights went out

this all happened last night coming back from HIN, my last fog came out of housing and blew up on freeway, then after, i noticed that my parking lights went out:sidemarkers, lights in gauges...blah blah, all lights associated when i switch on my lights.

i checked all the suspected fuses and they are fine.


my questions are. qhich is the exact fuse for the parking lights, ( daytime running lights, turn signal lights?)

if my fogs are wired to my parking lights and both my fogs are out, does that disrupt the circuit?

also, my sidemarkers are wired to my parking lights and turn signals but dont come on with lights, but if i turn on turn signals, they work.

thanks for your help ahead of time guys!

that sucks.....i don't think that the fogs would cause a disrupt in the circuit.....i think its more like a short.....check every fuse even if the have they nothing to do with the lights......and make sure that where the fog broke there isn't any wires touching....remember that you spliced into some wire to give your fogs power and when it fell out maybe that connection slipped out and caused a short.....

Check Your wiring. Its most likely whats causing it.

fogs have nothing to do with any "circuits" You need to check all the wiring first to make sure nothing is shorting out somewhere. Then check all the fuses.

...theres a possibility that water just into some connections.....but did you have the lights on your way to the show.....or did you only turn them on on your back.....either way i still believe its something to do with a connection of the fogs....the lights only went out after the fog light fell out.....right.....?

I take it that the adhesive you used for your civic fog mod didnt hold too well?
