Default Parking light/DRL won't come on

I'm currently modding the turn signals by using a dual circuit 7443 LED to illuminate white with the parking lights and blink yellow when the turns are on. I had one light all wired up and it tested ok. While I was testing some leads I mustve bridged a gap I shouldn't have and I popped a fuse. I found the 15a turn fuse over by the battery blown so I fixed it. Turns work but the parking lights don't come on still. Neither do the daytime running lights. The tails work fine though. I was looking for a fuse for the front but couldn't find it.

Our cars have a few fuse boxes in various points.

Two boxes are located in the engine bay, on both the driver and passenger sides. You can spot the long passenger box near the battery easily, but you'll have to remove the plastic engine cover on the drivers side to reach the other fuse box. Removal is simply a few clips and one screw, before gaining access. This fuse box is larger, contains some spare fuses, and a fuse removal tool.

On the interior, we also have two fuse boxes, again on the passenger and drivers sides. Both can be found under the dash in white colored and labeled fuse boxes. The passenger one is a bit further up there, but you should be able to see it if you contort yourself a bit.

Now I don't have my manual on me at the moment, so I can't tell you which box has what, but this will at least help you for any future work you plan on doing, or at least offer some general knowledge. Perhaps someone else with access to their manual can direct you further.

Good luck.
