Ambers, tail lights, guage lights DONT WORK!

So here's the problem, when i turn my head lights on the tail lights, ambers, or guage lights don't come on. I've checked my fuses and everything seems to be in order. Anyone know what my problem might be... something not plugged in or such. Any help would be awsome.

I took a more detailed look at all my fuses and found that one was blown and replaced it, but then i went to turn on my headlights and it blew... So there's obviously a short somewhere amongst the wiring. Sad thing is it's gotten worse. I'm now blowing the fuse to my "security, door locks" and the car wont start. So i've got to save up some money and have a pro look at it (deeply against my religion) or just take some time and look at it my self. Anyone have wiring diagrams?

be very careful what you put in the cigarette lighter, i put a 1,000,000 candle light spotlight in there. i had some serious fuse problems caused by it. might not even be the headunit. checked any exposed wires...
