    I was on my way to the dealer for my 20k service anyway. They checked the fuses, found nothing. Told me to put back my factory maps and dome and bring it back. Will try the battery first though.

    Do you have a voltmeter?

    For some people I would agree with you, for others I would disagree. Primary issue with LEDs is there very low resistance. Placing a lower resistance bulb in a circuit will result in a greater current elsewhere, strobe or flashing bulbs will flash rapidly, other bulbs, fuses or boards (hopefully not) will essentially short and burn. A proper LED would hopefully take this concern into manufacturing and use resistors to compensate. @mesojdm makes his map and dome lights and I've not heard of issues like people using random bulbs. I can only assume he took this into consideration. I think most people should probably stick with known products for that reason. Otherwise break out a voltmeter and measure the resistance before you replace anything.

    I disconnected the battery for 15 seconds or so, no luck. I put the factory stuff back and will take it to the dealer and let them chase it down.

    Did you disconnect it with the factory bulbs installed or the LEDS?
