Illumination Fuse Problems

Hi all,I have a problem with illumination of the ashtray, license plate light, fog lights and illumination of the stereo unit and AC after I tried to replace the glove box light. Unfortunately I have shotcircuted the wires while changing the glove box light and then after few days I have replaced the burned fuse but the problem was solved for 10 minutes after which the fuse blew again...I have replaced the fuse back with another identical one and no changes..the illumination is still off...Is there a backup fuse maybe somewhere?

found the problem...The fuse for taillights under the bonnet is somehow connected to the illumination fuse, both of them needed to be replaced and problem is solved :)
