    So i went to install some LED bulbs for my license plate (the only ones i'll be doing), and i went to install the second bulb, pushed it in too hard and tripped something.

    I say something, because i have checked and doubled checked EVERY fuse.

    My tail lights and license plate bulbs no longer operate. My brake lights and turn signals do.

    It is almost like a heard a fuse pop, and thought, no big deal... but none of them are blown.
    Anyone know WHICH fuse controls this circuit?

    i even pulled and swapped relays for the TOW/TAIL as well. no luck.

    the most simple mod.... fail.

    Did you check the fuses under the dash?

    is the location in the owner's manual? I was hoping for a detailed fuse chart in the manual. the one in the fuse box is something to be desired...

    Bingo. Second fuse in the box under dash. Does the manual even reference this second fuse box??

    Thanks for the help!

    When in doubt consult the owners manual.
