Calm down. Your post was only up for 45 min. Anyway, no **** you got pulled over. You were driving without lights. Fix it ticket shouldn't be so bad, since you'd have to fix it anyway.
BTW, I agree to check the fuses first. This is cheap, easy and fast. If you continue to blow fuses, or if that doesn't work, use a multi-meter to check the continuity of the circuits for any shorts.
Good luck, and relax.

ur fuses may be loose, I know that mine were so I got those fixed. I you have aftermarket lights like I do, I would check the connection between the bulb and the little wires that go in it, because that was my problem i just had to put it all in contact with the set up and then it started shining again...check ur connections.

SORRY GUYS, I really should not have not have put up in my post last night, I was just more upset at myself because of what happened.

I want to check the fuses first but i dont know where to look because the inside fuse box doesnt have any labeling, and the ones under the hood, I dont know which one would cause all of them to fail?

Is there any place that had a diagram of what all the fuses do?

Once again, sorry guys, any more help or information would be great.

Thanks.

The only thing that i can think might have caused this is i put red clears in the back friday night. Everything worked fine up until last night. I checked the wiring and harnesses and they are all in tight. As for fuses, I pushed all of them in incase one came lose.. still nothing.. Anyone else have an idea? I have to go back to school this afternoon, and I dont really want to go to the stealership.

Hey I dont have a diagram on me either, but if you take a needle nose plyer or a fuse tool, you can look at each one and see if the conections are okay. If you see the metal that is in the middle broken, that is the bad fuse.

I just decided to finally start pulling out EVERY fuse until i found one that was blown, replaced and now everything works perfect.

FYI, if all your exterior lights dont work on the first postion, check #5 in the fuse panel by your left knee, its a 7.5 amp fuse.

Glad to see things worked out for you. BTW, it wasn't the WTF I was commenting on, it was the middle finger icon. But no big deal.

Good day.
