Can you put the car into gear at all? If not, then might just be a fuse that got burnt out.

I had something similar happen to me once where I had noticed the ballast was disconnected from the harness, so I connected it and turned on the car only to see smoke coming out of the trunk.

Yikes!! Bad idea!!

So I disconnected the ballast from the harness and was going to go about my merry way when I noticed the brake being super stiff and I couldn't put the car into gear. Sure enough, connecting the bad ballast had shorted the brake fuse, don't know how, but it did, and so I just replaced the fuse and everything was a ok.

Lets hope that's all it is.
 
I had a short behind the dash that did the same thing. Except I was able to put the car in gear and drive just had no parking lights, dash lights, or tail lights
