Drivers side low beam and rear passenger turn signal issues

I seem to have screwed something up while trying to wire my air/fuel gauge (I wish I never would have messed with the useless light show but I wouldn't listen to good advice). Finally got it to 1/2 work (low reading only half the spectrum), but when I went to turn on my headlights the low beams on the drivers side won't work and the rear passenger side turn signals won't work (the flasher click has increased in sound to it may be the bulbs). I replaced the headlight bulb and no difference. I see there isn't a fuse for the low beams. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Don't blame yourself immediately, it might not be your fault. My 2006 has had some strange lighting issues. Never could figure out what was causing it for sure both times it was fixed by disconnecting the battery.

One incident involved the drivers side low beam not working, high beam would work fine. The passenger side taillight remained lit even after the lights were turned off as well.

The time before this my passenger side front turn signal/parking light was lit up the lights were off.

You have to be careful where you splice into on these cars , there's a 5v reference circuit and if you splice into it , it will cause problems. I spliced my new head units dimmer wire into the wrong circuit and all my lights went out. Sounds like that's what you're having happen ...
