Just FYI, you're in the Type R "Engine|Exhaust|Drivetrain|Bolton" section. But your bulbs might be the least of your worries. If you fucked up the wiring there is a chance you blew an entire line or even damaged the actual electronics on the car which will be a very pricy mistake.

Not to be a dick but..... First rule of installing anything electrical in your car, you should always disconnect the ground from the battery.

I would go thru all the fuses, fusable links, relays (under dash/hood) to see if anything is blown and go from there.

It’s a fuse NOTHING in that car runs straight power from the battery without a fuse. That’s the point of a fuse, in the event of a short circuit or power surge they’re meant to blow to protect the electric components. Double check all fuses. And as stated above^^ ALWAYS disconnect the battery when working with anything electrical on the car, it prevents messes like this. Look through the manual for all fuse locations
