You could have fried any one or all of the computer modules in the car. The alternator I'm sure is cooked. Any other number of circuits can be fried. Check all the fuses and relays under the hood and under the dash. Cross your fingers hope for the best , but expect the worst.

Check the fuse 40am in front of the battery. I know that one is out and is pink color. Good look

When Midas did that to my 400, it fried the main engine relay. Maybe take a look at that

now disconect the battery ( unhook the terminals) for 10 minutes and rehook maybe the lights will disappear.
