Default 01 civic tail light/ gauge/ fuse problem

hey everybody. i installed 04-05 tails on my 01 coupe a while ago. however lately, the fuse for my tail lights (not brake lights) and dash lights keeps blowing. i replace it, but it just goes randomly. i checked my wiring job on the tail lights and everything looks okay, so what could the problem be? any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you

Did you extend any wires during the procedure? Because that's typically what you have to do.

blowing fuses means u are drawing to many amps, or u have a short in your wiring somewhere, most likely u have a short to ground in the wiring if it does not happen right as u put the fuse in the that means that you only are shorting the wire over bumps or something, check all the wiring see if u have any bare wire showing that might be the cause
