    So I bought an LED interior light kit to change out all the interior lights, and while I was trying to remove the light bulbs above the dash (which I still haven't been able to do so if there is any advice on how to do that it would be greatly appreciated) I tried using two screwdrivers to pop the bulb out. (probably not a good idea, I know) When I made contact I hear a pop and all my interior lights go out along with my clock lights. Fuses aren't expensive are they? I guess using screwdrivers made a short in the circuit but I don't really understand how. What do y'all think?

    yep blew a fuse. check how many amps the fuse is and go to your local auto store for a replacement.

    Use a piece of painters tape, make a cone to grab the bulb

    Yup it was a fuse. Glad it was an easy fix. I had to take out the reflective cone thing in each of the light compartments to get to the bulbs though
