Default Interior light relay or fuse?

I have been through the book, through the schematics, and searched here on the forum....

I was replacing my interior lights (footwell, rear cargo) with LED's, and blew something. Now I can't find a single fuse blown, or know how to check the relays. Does anyone know exactly what fuse it is that controls these interior lights?

I know it sounds stupid, but I have checked three times in the car, and losing my mind on a day when I am supposed to be at the beach is killing me.... I refuse to go when the car needs something.

please and thank you!

Provided you cannot find "any" fuse blown, I assume you have done the obvious like: make sure you have power to the sockets and/or put the incandescent bulbs back in.

I don't know how I missed it three damn times, but I did. I suppose confusion and anger makes you more blind. It was exactly that fuse. Thank you so very much for answering such a stupid question.

No problem! I'm glad you got her fixed up! Are you doing the rest of your lighting also?

I just had to throw a prop to you guys, and the Corvette Forum which saved me again. I blew the fuse on my interior lights, while doing the led mod. After reading the manual several times, and searching fuses with no luck, I could only determine that the #42 Micro relay was blown. I was bummed that I did that, and was all set to go the dealer in the morning to get the relay ($$$). I decided to log on to CF, and found this thread...and BAM! #29 fuse...10A...problem solved!
Thanks posting such useful info, and for looking out for the Corvette Brotherhood.
