you have a short somewhere. try pulling all the bulbs then replacing the fuse. if it does not blow, install them one by one till you find the problem.
if you think there is a lot of bulbs to pull, trust me... that is nothing. i went through a similiar problem with my suburban a few months ago. it has over 11 interior lights and that is HALF the circuit....argh!

check for any burnt r bare wires and also make sure you are using the correct fuse make sure its either correct amperage or like five more wont hurt

Check for a pinched wire by the corner lights.

In summer a friend had similar problems. No headlight and interior. Only the corner- and taillights worked. We checked the bulbs: all ok. One fuse was blown, don't remember the number. We changed it, but it was the same. At last we looked after the wire harness from dashboard (steering wheel/ignition) to fuse box. We found nothing, but after that... all functioned. Maybe there was a blank wire and caused a short circuit. I'm almost sure that's the reason for ya problems.
