Rewire Fog Lights Failed

I was rewireing my for lights so they are on when the driving lights are turned on well basially the instructions i followed told me to splice the wire from the relay and connect it to the side marker and it should work. Well the problem now is that the drving lights dont work and NONE of the four side markers work and when i turn a corner using my blinker the cornering lamps dont work either. so basically im screwed. IF ANYONE KNOWS WHY THIS HAPPENED OR HOW TO FIX IT please help me out here thanks!!

YOu can start by checking the fuses, hopefully you just blew a fuse if not you shorted something in that case you got big problems.

The same exact thing happened to me when I did mine. The problem was a fuse. Check under the hood. It was one of those, not one under the dash.

So did you leave it wired up as stock, or go back to the fogs wired in with the headlights?
