firstly ,is your headlamps programmed to turn off ,cause this is done at the dealer ,not just pulling a fuse ,so check that ,if it was done both front & rear lights plus dash lights will be off with headlamp switch been in number 1 position ,note if the day time running light fuse is still in with programming only your park lamps will be on .
