last night my dash, rear and side marker lights went out. The fuse called "clearance illumination" was popped. The fuse keeps popping whenever i put a new one in. i disconnected all the rear lights in the back and the same thing still happens. If i just turn on the lights one click so that just the parking lights are on it is ok, but when i turn the regular headlights on the fuse pops(regular headlights still work and brake lights work fine? Is there a swith in the dash that could of gone bad or is there probably a short in the wires somewhere? Anybody ever had the same thing happen before?

looks liek you have those blue lights all the way around.... let me ask, are any of them higher wattage? If so, you are drawing too much current... I'd suggest changing out your bulbs.

No, going to a higher fuse value is not the solution to your problem... doing so can just let to other electrical problems, like melted wiring somewhere in the car.
