    Hey all...new to the forum so I'll apologize if this has been asked. I searched the entire forum and this specific question hasn't been asked. 2013 Tacoma, went ahead and changed all the interior lights to LED and for some reason, my driver side map light won't turn on BUT the passenger side does! Normally, I'd say its the fuse (which I had to change several times to take the load from the dome, vanity, etc) but yet now the drivers side is the ONLY one that won't work. I know its not the fuse bc the passenger side works. Searched high and low and can't find a solution. Any suggestions? TIA!

    Have you tried replacing the led with the bulb and see if the led is the issue?

    Pics of the new LED bulb plz. Make sure the polarity of the new bulb is correct. You can try bending the new bulb’s contacts the other way if that’s possible.

    @LivinOnEdge Yeah, I put the original back in and tried it and nada ;( That's why I'm so perplexed.

    Take the bulb out and turn it 180 degrees and plug back in and see if it works

    This.

    Leds are dc, so if they are put in backwards, they will not work. It’s a 50/50 chance you place them in the correct orientation.
