Did you try removing the LED bulbs to see if the problem can be resolved? Bill

Here's the schematic for the interior lights. Notice that all of the interior lights are powered by an A/C (square wave) voltage through the BCM computer. http://repairguide.autozone.com/znet...3f807dfd51.gif

There is no connection between exterior and interior lighting except, again, all of the exterior lighting is operated by current supplied through the BCM computer. http://repairguide.autozone.com/znet...3f807df2e8.gif

Hint: this isn't a '53 Buick where switches and battery fuses run all the lighting.

If changing the burned bulbs was all you did, then I suggest you put them back in to see if everything else works as it did before. Is so, the problem is with the replacement bulbs.

According to the owners manual, fuse #8 controls the parking lamps. Don't see the other lamps you mention listed.

If you had bothered to look at the schematics I linked you would see that there are 2 fuses and a lot of electronics between. But since your post seems to indicate some lights are working and some aren't, that would eliminate fuses that run both lights that are working and those that aren't. If you aren't able to decipher a schematic I suggest you take it to a shop.
