i finally stumbled upon decent looking replacement tail lights . turns out that depo is a phantom company which has poor track record. lovely. anyways....the brake lights, both directionals and reverse lights work at all times. fuse #32 (7.5w) immediately blows when i turn on either the parking lights or the headlights. thus both the front and tail parking lights never illuminate. what can i do?

why not go back to stock?

but it sounds more like a short in the wire somewhere

are you running those LED tail lights? I hear LED's draw in a lot of current whcih could be why your blowing fuses. DO the new taillights use all the factory light bulbs are harness, like most aftermarket tails? If no, you might have a bulb in htere pulling in way to much current and once your switch youe headlights on you trying to force the maximum amount of current to all your lights and exceedign the fuse's limit. You should also check ALL your grounds and ALL your light fuses because if the current os only half completed (a bad ground or two) then your shorting out with this huge current draw and blowing fuses but like i said check all that s**t and it doesn't hurt to put di-electric grease on all your bulbs.
