headlight problem

[turbotalon3174]

I was driving to school the other day with my headlights on and all of a sudden they went out and the backlighting on my gauges went out. I know that a fuse is burned out and I replaced that twice only to have it burn out immediately when I put it in. Since I don't know much about wiring, the only other option I feel that I have is take the car to a dealership and have them look at it, I am afraid that this will be expensive so any advice or information I can get would be great.

PS don't know if this makes a difference or not but I will say it anyway. The day before I took out my intercooler(stock) and cleaned it along with my air filter.

Make sure you didn't pinch a wire someplace, although I think it's probably just coincidence and not related.
I'd recommend a local automotive electric shop over a dealership, if you can't do this sort of thing yourself.
Make sure your battery is bolted-down, and that there's a vinyl cover over the positive terminal.
