if this is a must (like need today so you can drive)

you can always cut/splice the brake underneathe the brake pedal and cut/splice your running lights and your lights will stay on as long as they are connected. When you park and turn off your car, you will need to undo the above.

Did you install a cd player recently? or did any electrical wiring? You have a hot power wire grounding down to something metal or touching another wire. You should check for any loose wires behind the cd player. Tape up all the exposed wires. Just check over everything if you recently messed with any electrical wires.

This happened to me a couple years back in my EF. I installed a cd player and didnt tape up the power wires good and it grounded down to the chassis and melt my wires from the cd player up to my signals. I had to rewire 2 wires. I was stumped also, wondering why every damn fuse had blown everytime I turn my lights on. And that was the problem.

Good luck.
