your taillight blows because there is water leaking into the boot from around the bolts holding the spoiler down. the moisture + heat kills them. my reverse lights go, sometimes brake lights. or your tail light lenses. or your rear window ( i've reglued everything back there but the window )
check the amp ratings of the fuses in the fried box against the new one, make sure no one put bigger fuses in. what did the technician check ? just a short circuit would *tik* a fuse, not melt a fusebox.
describe your alt problem ? is it starting trouble you notice later, or does the alt light come on ? this is prolly cos of the fuse box problems. loose wire or something causing the voltage drop and resistance that melts a fusebox. start with small stuff like the plugs on the back of the alt, and clean and tighten the battery terminals.
do you live in south island of new zealand ? cos if you do i have a spare alt for my supra, a spare few wiring *everything* off another clapped out supra ... and if yours is for sale cheap ... mmm sleepy eyes ...

So I bought this old Honda bike, an NSR250. Bit of a street racer, I guess. I'm told they're fast.
Delivering it home with a friend driving the Supra for the first time. I drop gears and make a scream from the twin pipes flowing down this pony's flanks and it takes off like it's tail's on fire.
I look back when the Honda gets to its tap-out and the Supra's only two lengths behind. No one I've let ride my bike has told me its slow, they've all loved the thing. That car is a good thing indeed.
