You probably are, or at the very least you did not prepare very well by researching you car's electrical system. :)
Modern cars, including the Civic are not only fused for the main lighting circuit, but each individual lamp wiring leg is redundantly fused for exactly the reason that you state.
You simply duplicated something that was already there.
Your owners manual can be very enlightening reading, if you choose to do it.
