    Ok so I decided I'd change out my interior dome light and front overheads out to LED. the light kit I got off eBay and replaces all the lights. I opened the dome light and the old bulb was corroded into place so I pulled it out and decided to sand the ends to clean and put the new build in. The LED flickered but then came on for s short period and went back to flicker. At this point of the exchange I for some reason decided it would be smart to push it in w a screwdriver and pop I arced off and now no interior lights are working nor the radio. Where the heck is the fuse for that stuff ??? I looked in the panel box but no clear answer

    Help ?!?!?!
