Default Help my map lights are messing up!:(

As the title reads, I went to put some LED bulbs in the map lights tonight and I couldn't get them to do right so I took them out and put back the stock bulbs. Now when I open the doors or unlock the car with the keyless entry they will light up, but when I'm sitting in the car and go to turn them on they will not come on. I also noticed that the glove box and the hood light doesn't work either. I'm guessing I blew a fuse of some kind. Has this ever happened to anybody? Any help getting this issue fixed would be VERY appreciated. Thanks so much!

I have the same problem. They work with doors, keyless, and dome light switch on the dash. But you cant turn them on with the switches on the mirror. Also the lights in the sunvisor vanity mirrors dont work. Wish someone had an answer, please.

true. #2 or #29 fuses which are locared on the passenger's side floorboard fuse box. remember that the fuse box cover goes upside down when placing it back.
