HELP!! What did I do to my car?, fuses, smoke and other bad things Options

[biosurfer1]

so after working for about a week, the fuse to the dash lights in my car popped again, which i thought was a little weird to happen so fast, but i replaced it and the replacement popped too. I had just bought some of the original type fuses on ebay (was using the tube fuses) so i thought i'd throw one of those in, that when the trouble started. I had the dash lights turned all the way down, after i replaced the fuse, i slowly turned them up and before i knew it, there was a lot of smoke bellowing up from behind the fuse panel. I quickly turned them off, and took apart the panel to look at the damage, to which i couldnt find anything, so it must have been in one of the relays. the new fuse did not pop, and i dont understand why, it was the correct amperage, i double checked. so does anyone know what i could have done, or where to start checking to find out?? HELP!! this is driving me crazy, not to mention i have no dash lights...
