Depo lights short circuit

Hi there,

I hope you can help me on this one: I was trying to level the Depo headlights. As I was twisting the leveler to adjust it, the red and black wires from the angel eyes harness got disconnected from the Depo headlight and touched each other. As soon as they touched I heard a small short circuit noise and the AE ring on the passenger side I was working turned off. I connected them again to the Depo headlight and as soon as I pushed the fob button the AE rings worked fine. However, as soon as I turn the ignition key, the angel eyes (both sides) shut down.

For those who don't know, the Depo headlights come with a harness that's has one end connected to the car's interior lights (so they turn on as soon as you press the fob button) and another end connected to the ignition wire (so they remain on when the car is on). I assume the problem happened around the ignition wire. Do you have any idea if it may be just a fuse that has blown? The car ignition system still works great. Just the AE rings don't turn on anymore when the car is running. As soon as I turn the car off and the interior lights come again, the AE lights turn on again too.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
