I put a new set of lites on my dazon, much brighter... BUT now i cant turn off the engine with the key. I replaced the ign. switch its not that, i opened the plastic cover where all the wireing is and saw some kind of inline fuse, it was spliced into a red wire it was a small black and round with hard wires sticking out each end sodered inline to a red wire. it says 6a on it so im assumeing its a 6amp inline fuse? I un-sodered it and put in a temp 10amp fuse but i still cant shut down the engine with the key. only by useing the red kill switch will it shut down. Anyone know what else it could be?

You have created a short somewhere in the system. I have seen this situation in a different way where the engine won't turn off with the kill switch. The problem was that the owner over tightened the side mountaing screws on the stock lights and they were toughting something inside. I would guess you have a simular situation. Try backing out any mounting hardware. Hope this helps.
These buggies use a "grount fault" circuit, so everything is hot (12v) all the time and shorting to ground is how you toggle things on (e.g. lights, starter, etc.). It sounds like you grounded something to the frame that you shouldn't have.
