lights not working need help with wiring

05 coupe
hey guys i got a problem. Over the weekend i opened up the headlight, painted and installed the oracle halos. I wired them in with a splitter and the inverter that came with them into the clearance light. After hooking them all up, the clearance lights, corner side markers, halos, interior clock and licence plate lights aren't working. I am also not being able to dim or brighten the console lights for some reason. Since the only circuit that i tampered with was the clearance light I figure its a blown common fuse. However what is the fuse titled for these components?? And where is it located. I check with an amp meter the fuses in the battery compartment (2 fuse boxes) and also i opened up the fuse box thats under and to the left of steering wheel. However im getting a signal on all those fuses to. So what fuse am i suppose to be checking more clearly and where is it located?

If you have any other ideas of what is causing the problem please reply, i need this fixed asap more so cause i dont have any licence plate lights on.

Thanks

are there also fuses behind the battery?? with all the lights?? cuz i see the fuses infront of the battery and to the left for the relay.

also when i checked the actaul wires that i attached to the clearnace light circuit. Both indicated they are ground, so does anyone know what i could of done wrong. I matched red to red and black to black and used a spliiting clip to run them of the same circuit.

thanks

The problem has to be with shorting out . Somtimes the invertors are defective and blow the fuse . The problem has to be located and fixed or youll blow a fuse everytime you turn your lights back on . The fuse blown is the taillight fuse behind the battery . Get them to replace the invertors and you should be good unless your shorting out on the wiring you did

which one is taillight fuse. I have 03 coupe, while working on getting backup light signal (to install backup camera trigger) I've shorted some taillight wires by accident. Now everything dim light (when I turn the light switch 1 nod before headlight) is completely out.
I'm suspecting one of the fuse, where can I locate this?
