Help...Headlight problems (a little long)
Woke up early today and washed the car preparing for the ride home from my summer place. Must have gotten water in the passanger side DRL/Turnsignal and blew the bulb. No problem changed it a few times already. I put the leadlights on and went throught the hole in the right side. The da*m bulb wouldn't come out, so the bulb broke. Because the headlights were up there was still power to the bulb, I ended up getting a little burn on my finger. I had to pry the bulb base out of the socket with a screw driver, but first I had to touch the filament with the screw driver and cause a micro mini fireworks show. I put the new bulb in and all worked, until I shut off the headlights and they didn't close. The lights work fine, the just won't close. Then I notice the fogs don't work. So I closed the hood, figuring I'd work on the problem when I got home and then the latch on the passanger side wouldn't catch. After working on that for a half hour, it closed.
When I get home, the wife gets out of the car and tells me the hood is not latched on the passanger side, plus I know that the lights still don't close.
I checked all the fuses and their all ok. Is it possibly a relay? Can anyone lead me in the right direction on how to fix this thing?
Thanks in advance.

It's all fixed. I looked back in the old posts and found a suggestion to check the #6 fuse inside the passenger footwell. The fuse decription has nothing to do with headlights and in true Corvette fashion, it worked. I don't remember who posted th solution, but thanks any way.
