No running lights
Worked on the car yesterday. One of the things I did was replace my taillights with halos. They are modified by George from Sharp light Innovations to sequence the LEDs in segments.
As it turns out, the lights will only work if the led plug is in the socket one way. When checking the third light, the plug was in backwards and when it was changed back the sequencers worked, but not the halo.
For some reason, all of my running lights quit working and now the headlight motors will not work. Signals all work, brake lights work and flashers work. Headlights work, both high and low beam. Just no running lights or headlight motors.
All fuses checked okay. I think there are two relays in the interior fuse box for the headlights (not sure if they are for the lights or motors), but I don't know how to check them.
Monday I will call George to see if this problem could have been caused by one of the halos malfunctioning. Doesn't seem very probable, but you never know.
Has anyone had a similar problem? I'm taking the car on a cross country road trip next weekend and it looks like I'll have to limit all my driving to daylight hours until it gets fixed.
All suggestions, advice and info are welcome.

Turned out one of the halos has an internal short, causing the parking light fuse to blow. Removed that unit and everything works fine. Was able to find another set while on vacation (shear luck!) and will have George fix mine when I get back from this trip. Problem solved.
