Electrical Problem Mitsubishi Evo 8 2005?

I have a 2005 Mitsubishi Evolution VIII, it was all fine before until the grounding wire for my boost guage popped out, i couldnt pin point where it ripped off from so i just interconnected it with another grounding wire from the light switch control. I than noticed that my rear tail light wasnt runing, my breaks and signal was fine. When you turn on your headlights your taillights would also be on, but in this case the left one was on. It was a blown 7.5 fuse from under the hood, i replaced it, and i blew, i went higher to 10, same result, i knew this was risky i jumped to 20, it worked until i saw smoke come out of the inside car behind the steering wheel, i immediately turned of the car, i took everything out to see what burned but i have no idea, but that fixed the taillight running issue, but now with both 7.5 fuse in the instrument cluster light doesn't work, it only works when your headlights/taillights are off, but if you turn it on the light for the instrument cluster turns off, if you remove one of the 7.5 fuse it works normally but than your now missing one taillight. Can somebody help me here, i am thinking of running the right tailight running light to the left, only that one not the brakes or signal or reverse, what do you think of this, this has gotten out of hands. Everything else works in the car, radio, lights, climate control.

Update:

Well i know not to set the fuse higher, im just not sure what got fried, the wires or the circuitboard, i checked and it all looks clean, i mean if the circuitboard got fried, most of the controls and everythin on the car wouldn't work..
