chances are you blew a bunch of fuses. i lost my cluster lights when i put in my deck… found a burned fuse. replaced it and everything was good…oh yeah, i blew the hatch light (y’know when you leave the hatch or a door open that light behind you?) too, never got around to fixing that. ---

not sure if this will help but check your tail light fuse and make sure u tape up all cut wires. my car was like this and this helped. ---

> Every time i change my fuse it blows instantly try taking your deck out and unhook the plug from your deck then change your fuse and see if your lights work. if so then u might have a wire that is shorting out. also make sure u tape up every wire that are open.
