Help I broke my car!!
I had led lights that worked fine on a switch that was wired into my accessory/cigarette lighter sockets. I tried to wire them to whee they will turn on when I open my doors so I tried splicing into my head lamp wires. When I put the battery back in the LED wires caught n fire! 
now my radio won't work, my interior lights don't work, my car doesnt bong when the keys in the ignition and the doors are open and worst of all... The car won't start! I have to go to work tomorrow and I'm lost!

Disconnect your new wiring and start looking for blown fuses and burnt fusible links. Hopefully you did not kill the RAP module. It is a bit after the fact, but before messing with wiring it is a good idea to get a wiring diagram, just to avoid what happened.

do the windows work or the door locks?
btw this is the second gen section 1970-1981 you should post in the 4th gen section 1993-2002

Oh sorry I didn't notice it wasn't the wrong section, it' doesn't have power locks/windows either :/ but update.... I got the car to start, it must've just drained the battery I jumped it and it works. The only things that don't work are the odometer and it's backlight (I did the 97 dash swap) the radio, the dome lights/reading lights in mirror, hatch release(when I press the button I hear a click somewhere behind the glove box but the power doesn't reach the hatch. It also doesn't bong still for anything. I'm going to pull the glove box out now and see if anything is fried there.... This sucks haha
