Check for a damaged wire harness. Also, there are fuses and relays under the hood in a separate fuse block.

File an amendment to your insurance claim and let the shop that did the repair work fix it.

When you checked the fuses did you check the power to them also. Make sure the fuse for those lights has power and if that is okay then check for power out of the switch. It may be bad.
