Technical Electrical Problem, I think

[maniacbravo]

So basically half of the bulbs on my dash died and was only barely able to see the speed I was going at, so last week I bought these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/350692532318?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 and went ahead to install them following the instructions from this http://www.bravo-guide.co.uk/fix-a-bravo.htm, I did everything very carefully and when I went ahead to turn the lights on, I got nothing. So installed the old bulbs again and these dont seem to work either...... and on the bright side I seem to have also lost the driver side, side lights, dimmed beam and full beam still seem to work.

Any ideas if I may have blown any fuses before I go burning money at an electrician? I will eventually go to buy new oiginal bulbs if I cant fix the aftermarket ones I bought.

after noticing some other lights not working, I found the problem to be a blown fuse, fuse no.6 to be exact, the first one from the 2nd row for those with the same problem, its a 10A one. Now everything seems to be working, even the bulbs that were supposed to be blown.....

Anyway, now I still wish to install the leds while the dashboard is still apart, but I dont feel like taking everything apart again for the fuse to blow again, I have 12V blue leds, I've tested them on a 12 V power supply and they all seem to work (well apart from one which I broke ), suggestions?

I always liked the green.
Atleast my eyes see everything blue (I have blue panelmeters, voltage) little fuzzy (red amperemeters next to them are clear). Also billboards with blue lighted letters.
Thats just the human eye as the cells on peripheral vision are the ones detecting most of the blue.

sorry for the off topic reply but, you might have a slight astigmatism like me neveth, i see everything as little as you describe the blue.

(my 2pence just to remain slightly on topic )
for the electrics, i personally would not get an electrician involved until you have no choice, wait and see if the problem reoccurs, and the fuse blows again before worrying too much.
