Default electrical dilemna... need help ASAP

ok, so i get in my car to go out tonite and guess wut, my gauge cluster is dark as ****... so i turn that lil **** to turn the light up but then i remember honda u can't turn off that light... so this gets me thinking... i go outside to check my other lights and the parking lights and rear lights dun work at all... confused, i go inside to get a flash light thinking a fuse went out. as i close my door and turn on the alarm, the lights all of a sudden work... so seeing that they work, i go back inside the car and turn on the engine again and turn on the lights... oh, btw, when my alarm is deactivated, the parking lights and gauge cluster lights stay on for about 30 seconds... and so i get in my car to turn it on and all of a sudden the lights dun work again... any ideas??? i checked the fuse and it's fine... no electrical work has been done to my car recently, except 3 weeks ago, i wired my amps... but that is just a clamp on the battery.. any ideas why this would happen??

Sorry but you need to give more detail about your car and stuff
what year what model? stock alarm?
you sure your "coutesy light&small light" and "parking light fuse" are
fine? it might sounds stupid but something this kinda detail is over looked.
and yeah 6th gen have passenger side fuse too.

check the wires around where the alarm Brain is wired into your car.

and double check all your fuses. you've got a 6th gen right? DS box, #9 and PS box #10
