Think I shorted something out..

Alright well I had my dome light (the one on the center) on in my car. At the same time I was changing the map light on the passenger side (the ones up front). Accidentally I left the buttons for the map light on, and when i slid the bulb in the dome light went out. Now both map lights don't work and the dome light doesn't work either, even with new bulbs.
So how do i fix this now? because i have 5% tints and black interior and i never knew how important my map/dome lights were until i didn't have them. I kept subconsciously reaching for them to turn them on on my way home.

Check your fuses, you blew one of the 7.5A fuses under the dash. I think it's the "interior ill" fuse.

good way to get a bunch of fuses is to go to a junkyard and just pull a bunch of them, they usually will not care as can't really charge anything for them.

Wow! Now that is some seriously cheap penny pinching!
