Default problem installing spoiler.

hey
i just tried to attach my spoiler to my 3rd brake like by splicing the wires. i seen a spark so i aborted. now none of my brake lights work when i press the brake button. everything else works except the lights that are supposed to come on when braking...i checked the lighting relay. that was fine. i pulled the bulbs that dont work and they seem to have grown this white crust around the base. whats wrong?

It's a fuse. That spark blew a fuse. So now you just gotta check all the fuses for the rear lamp assemblies.

ALWAYS disconect your negative battery terminal when you are doing something electrical!
