Default Light/Fuse problem

I've been workin on my headlights the whole day and I'm having major problems right now. My fogs wont work, non of my side markers will turn on, and my brake lights only come on when i step on the brake... even when the lights are on? All fuses seem ok but I cant find the fuse for the sidemarkers. My fog light fuse is fine too. Any ideas?

May be a high-resistance shortcut (not enough to burn fuses) somewhere in headlights?

I dont know how that happens. I tried putting all stock lights back in and still nothing. pulled ECU, disconnected battery, checked all fuses, and still nothing. everything seems to be working fine except for the 4 side markers, fog lights, the 2 small bulbs on the outermost corner of the headlights, and the license plate lights. also still no brake lights when acc lights are on... but for some reason they work when i step on the brakes though. I just shelled out $200 for headlights, $500 for a new windshield today too. I'm having too many problems on a car that is babied and well maintained

You mentioned you tried putting all the stock lights back in. Is there something else going on here that may have caused the problem?
