Default think i fried my mirror map light..need some help

installed some leds in my rear view mirror and it appears that i fried one of the circuit boards, is there any alternate routes i could take to fix this, it was working and it just went out i dont think i can salvage the one ciruit board, is it possible to hard wire a couple leds in there?

Oops, I think you toasted it bro. Can you remove the mirror and inspect it? Prossibly a trace on a little PC board or something. Mine is a '98, so I don't have your type mirror otherwise I'd be able to help to you. We need more forum help.
