   its the fuse that controls your sidelights and interior dash iluminum.... lets c its the passenger fuse bos and its fuse f12 and is 10Amp... it should be second from the left on the top row of the passenger fusebox... if not check your earth connection which should be located at the base of the left hans a pillar which i believe is behind the vertical section of carpet on the left hand side of the passenger footwell and is ryt beside the door

   e1- near battery
   e2- base of LH 'A' pillar
   e3- On gearbox
   e4- Engine bay, LH front inner wing
   e5- near cooling fan
   e6- Engine bay, RH front inner wing
   e7- On gearbox
   e8- RH 'C' pillar
   e9- on gearbox
   e10- LH 'C' pillar
   e11- LH 'C' pillar
   e12- base of LH 'A' pillar
   e13- transmission tunnel
   e14- Dashboard
   
   thats straight out of the haynes manual btw and thats all the vehicles earths unless you have put extra in. if head lights arent working check e4 and e6. for instrument illumination check e2. if side lights and tail lights arent working check e4 e6 e11 e8.... well you should just check them all actually
