I'm having the same problem in my C5. I've completely ripped apart the interior to find out wtf is wrong and still can't find it. I've checked every fuse and relay as well.

Yes, the TAIL LPS fuse protects the tail/running lights and the instrument panel illumination. That includes the front parking lights - I expect that when you mentioned they were still working you were actually looking at the daytime running lights. The front lamps have dual filament bulbs where the bright filament is for the turn signals and DRLs and the dim element is only used when the headlights are on for running lights.

i once had a civic that had this problem (yes i owned a civic once).. my problem was there was a wire inside my head unit that was hitting the metal in there that cause it to short out some Fuse, so, i duct tapped that wire and then replaced all the fuses for lights and what not and it started to work fine. so, maybe that helps, i hope??
