Ack...electrical problems! (head/parking lights)

So...I foolishly took out my fender liners to "solve my tire-rubbing issues" when in fact the only problem was that my car was WAY too low. As a result, when I was driving along one day over Highway 17 (it's pretty twisty), I noticed that when I would make right turns, my headlight would flip up and down at random, and when I finally limped home and shut off the car and the headlights, my pass. side parking light remained on.

Since then I dismantled the body wiring harness that runs along the driver's side front fender and replaced all the wires that got messed up, and re-covered the ones that only lost a little bit of insulation. I also made sure to re-install the fender liners, and I also gave the whole harness a few good wraps with electrical tape and tucked it into its original spot.

However, when I reconnected the battery, I noticed the passenger side parking light was still turned on, even with the lights switched to "off" and the keys out of the ignition. I also noticed that if I turn off the headlights too fast, they'll stay popped up.

Did I fry a relay or something? God in Heaven I feel stupid right now.

bump...

also, on a completely different subject - does anyone think it would be unsafe to run my car with DP, high-flow cat and a RB dual tip catback on the stock ECU? Everything else would be stock.
