Default Blew fuse putting in LEDs

I was going along fine with LED switch ( from Tuner Domes ) got to the glove box and blew a fuse ( seems others have as well )no dome light, visor lights and glove don't work. Can't seem to identify which fuse from manual ( or get fuse cover off easily, don't want to break it ). Anyone know? I am at 7k so might just bring in for my 8k service early and get them to do it.

Also, with the LEDS a couple things.

1. don't bother with changing red door lights, its actually dimmer with the LED and no colour diff.

2. Having a bitch of a time with the rear map lights as well as visor lights, any suggestions?

Can't help you with the fuse but may be able to help with the problem lights.

Did you check out my thread with pics? The lights were a pain until I figured out how they popped out...then it was a cinch.

Thanks ! That is a big help, particularly for the rear map lights, good to see it comes out as one unit, I thought plastic housing might have stayed in and might have broke it.

Just need to get fuse sorted out.

Open the door, get your fingers or a friendly screw driver and pop off the dash end panel. Fuses behind there both sides.
