Default Keep blowing fuse for dashlight/taillight

Here's the deal, I was driving around alot tonight. Everything was working fine and has since the car was brand new. (It's a 98 Accord Sedan) I went to my friend's work and talked to him awhile, then was going to go across the street to the grocery store. Everything was fine. Went in the grocery store, came back out to leave and noticed something was different. Looked down to see how fast I was going and the lights were on... all the gauge lights. The odometer light was on, seatbelt light, shifter position, etc. I got to a spot I could pull over and checked the taillights. They weren't on either. Checked the fuse for the license plate light I think? It was one of the fuses on the passenger side, a 10 amp. It was blown so I put a spare in, turned the lights on, blew it right away. I'm gonna get my dad to look at it tomorrow but to kinda help us shortcut, any ideas? Has anyone had this happen before? It's really aggravating and I need my car tomorrow night lol. Thanks in advance

No but yesterday we had a heck of a storm with lots of water ponding on the roads... doubt that matters though but my dad was studying the wiring in the haynes book and thinks its the halo lights in my crappy ebay projectors... guess I'll be blackin out the stock lights
