Default Big Electrical Problem!!!!! (88 CRX Si)

Ok I just got my gauge yesterday and installed them myself. I just came from the mall, my lights and everything were acting strange.
Everytime I hit a bump, my "Check Engine" light came on and then it went off.
I guess 2 wires somewhere behind the dash were not suppose to touch and then it shut off my car for a second (including everything else). Now it starts up just fine but now my headlights, or should I say everylight is not working except my turn signals and when I brake. I also put the stock ones back on and it's still not working.

Sorry If I confused anyone but I'm trying to put it in the best way I can.

Thanks

there are some "ground relays" for lack of a better word, up by the front right and fron left fenders. they are a clearish looking plug with about 4 or 5 wires apiece going into them. check to make sure those are screwed to the inner fender. and check your tranny ground to make sure it is still attached. thats where i would start. then check fuses.

I hope that when the 2 wires from the gauges touch something in the dash, I hope that didn't completly f*ck it up.
