    Hey!

    So yesterday I was changing my interior lights (Dome, vanity, and map lights) to LED (lights are from Amazon). They all worked perfectly fine for a hot minute and now they dont work. I've changed them back to the standard OEM lights but still nothing. I checked all my fuses and wires but they look to be fine. Any suggestions? Should I just change the fuse anyway? Starting to panic, any and all advice is appreciate! Thanks

    The best way I've found to do the dome lights is to pull down the entire console and remove the bulb via the removable socket, rather than just removing the clear cover and removing it that way. I never ran into any fuse issues and this could be part of why. Also, make sure your lights aren't on when changing the bulb. Sounds simple but some people would have it on to ensure seeing the polarity is correct before finishing the job just to save a few seconds.
