    Need help..electrical problems wit dash n headlights

    So here's the deal...i installed fog lights the day before this happened..i wired it up so that it would turn on wen i got my halos/turn signals on..meaning i tapped into the turn signals just to be clear which my halos are also tapped into..at the time i thought "hrmm there shouldn't be a problem with me doing that.."..but i was kinda worried because my halos are also tapped into my turn signals also..everything worked perfectly that day..but then last night while i was driving, my passenger fogs went out and so did my dash lights n center console..once i stopped to check it out, I found out my halos and turn signal was also out but the LEDs and turn signal still blinked when i had the emergency lights on...did i blow a fuse or something because I can't figure out what's wrong..i suck with anything electrical? I disconnected the fogs thinking that would solve the problem and my dash, halos, and turn signals would come back on but nope..that didn't solve a thing...maybe tapping the fogs into my turn signal wasn't such a good idea...T.T can someone help me please? I might just end up installing the stock heads back on if i cant figure out the problem...>.<...o yea, one more thing..everything went out at the same time...

    Its a fuse, you have too much draw going to that. I believe it is only a 10amp fuse for that power source. Look in your handbook for which fuse it is I believe it may be one of the ones in the Yellow fuse holder in the engine bay. 23 or 22. Not 100% so still check. Use an add a fuse kit and create a line directly to the fogs. To make it so that it goes on when your halos go on just use an automotive relay.
