    I have a 2003 Toyota Tacoma. I tried changing my dome light today to an led, after I made sure the led worked I took it back out cause I had to adjust it so it would fit a little better then put the led back in and now my dome light doesn't work I even tried a normal bulb.. Any ideas what's wrong? Also new to page first post

    Check the fuse to see if you popped it.

    you have a fuse box under the hood over the driver side tire and one on the lower dash area by where your left knee would go.

    Replaced chrome badges with Sockmonkey black badges, painted billet grill black, K&N cold air intake, my corner light turn signal circuit, Speedfreek traction bars, RAAMaudio BXT/Ensolite, Stereo: Kenwood KIV-701 USB/Bluetooth deck, 10" Pioneer shallow sub behind the rear seat, Infinity 6822cf 6x8 front and rear doors, Fosgate P400-2 (sub), US Acoustics USX-4065 (four main speakers)
    It is easy to have one end of the bulb touch both the clip (12V) and the roof (ground). I did this when replacing mine. I believe I found the fuse for the dome light in the fuse box that is under the hood near the battery.
