I scooped the car up from a friend and he did the swap.
He says the only wiring he did is just the VTEC.

So nobody touched any wiring inside the counsel.

I can't turn my lights on, just the cluster, and the parking lights.

I found the burn, but its inside a black box that the turn & windshield
levers are connected to.

The box is what was smoking, cause part of it is melted.

So I'm guessing thats were the short is ( inside the box ).

those things short out often, go to a junkyard or look on here for a new one, slap it on and you should be good to go
