LEDs are directional with 12v/lower voltage leads.

Your fuse is in the fusebox located in the engine bay, on the driver side.

Try swapping the positive and negative terminals. LEDs are polarity specific (if that's even a thing) and I had the same issue. Once I switched it up, boom.

Switch where the red and black wires connect to the stock harness. Most of the aftermarket LEDs give you the ability to trade out the placement of these wires in the plastic housing. I'll post some pictures up tomorrow and show you what I mean.

exactly what I was getting at, zax3gs hit it right on the nail..... just flip the plug backwards and see if it works that way.

If you don't know how to swap the polarity on the plug, definitely google/youtube it. You should find your answer quicker than zax can snap a pic for you

Enjoy! For future reference, I don't believe LEDs have the power to blow your fuses..... Maybe the high output LED systems, but not the typical LED bulbs.

So before any future members try to look for a fuse, definitely try to reverse the polarity as it's not always the same....
