Hi mate,
Not long ago i was taking a stereo out of my uk impreza turbo and the live wire touched the metel frame and blew a fuse.
The central loking stopped working the interior lights and obviously the new stereo. never checked the external lights so possibly them aswel.
Although your fuses look ok just change it be on the safe side before you spend big bucks on a electrician.
the fuse i changed was in the interior fuse box under the dash.
