    I was trying to do the fog light anytime mod on my 2012 and i blew something because my parking lights would not turn on. The brakes lights and turn signal do. I check all the fuses and it seems to be good. Does anybody whicj one is the relay for them? Or what else could it be? Thanks in advance for your answers.

    Yeah, number 3 is suppose to be the one for the tailights according to my manual. I did found one that was bad but that was for my passenger window switch.

    All fuses are good in engine bay box as well?

    Edit I read that you mentioned that. Do the fog lights work?

    Yeah, they work the relay is good. I swapped them all around just to see if something will stop working and nothing. I got them to work by doing whats on the pic below. But they would stay on at all times i need to unplug that everytime. Could i had mess the switch up?

    If I remember correctly, there are 3 fuse boxes. 2 in the engine and 1 in the cabin behind the change tray. Did you try removing the mod completely and see if everything works normal?

    Have you checked the bulbs themselves? Would be a bit odd to toast both of them at once, but not impossible

    What you see on the pic is the only way I got my parking lights to turn on and my interior dash. Not the Fog lights.

    I am positive I burned something, I was following the instructions of the 13 to 15. but I guess the 12 is the only one different. After stripping a green wire I tried to connect them for the mode is when I heard a click and the parking lights when off at that point up to now.

    Sounds like a circuit breaker popped or you are not seeing the fuse that's bad. Did you check all of them with a test light or a volt meter?
