Wow. The only description of that is FUBAR.

It looks like the harness is all wrong and you are lucky if you didnt fry your ecu.

Disconnect the RYWire harness to see if the lights go out.
If they DO go out, then call RYWire.

From the ecu? Or unplug it from where?

F*cked Up Beyond All Repair.

If you disconnect from the ECU then everything should turn off. It seems like the wires getting power are going to the wrong sensors/locations

hahaha o man that is not what i was hoping for FUBAR to mean. that sucks. so do you think its the rywire harness? i did move my fuse box from under the hood to under the dash but everything went back to the same place. i thought she was about to be running what the hell am i supposed to do? i need to figure this out. i bought a rywire harness so this wouldn't happen!

Ok dude. This isn't one light on here or one sensor not working there. This is seriously messed up, looks like there r a lot of wires plugged in wrong.

You need to get a pinout of your ecu, and follow every damned wire to their locations, checking off whether or not they feed what they are supposed to feed. After you moving stuff mistakes happen, this is the only way to ensure that harness is or isn't all wrong.

And I was t joking about hopefully your ecu isn't messed up.

wtf i just bought this harness I'm not gonna do all that hell no. the only wires i unplugged were three little skrews on one side of the fuse box and the battery and alternator leads on the other side and they all went back where they were supposed to go. and the car was running perfect and the wiring was fine when the single cam was in all i did was change the harness it has to be the harness right? and yeah i fried an ecu on my old eg i know what that smells like i already opened up this one its fine.

Com'mon, just bc you don't smell it doesn't mean it didnt happen, there are tons of components that can fail without burning up; although not smelling it is a good start. Whelp if you don't want to trouble shoot that then your next step is to call rywire and explain everything. Hopefully they figure out you have the wrong harness.
