Default HELP...Foot well lights not working after trying DIY LED foot well light mod

I bought an '08 IS-F a few weeks ago and am new to this forum. Having reading many posts in this forum about DIY mods to 2IS I decided to try the LED Foot well light mod. i dont know what happened but now my foot well lights don't work. I've checked all the Fuses in both the engine compartment and inside on the driver and passenger side and they are fine. I've gone through the whole manual and cant find another other info on the foot well lights. i've even tried to put everything back to normal and nothing. If some knows what i did wrong and can help me i would very much appreciate it. Thanks....

Try switching up the wires on the newly installed lights. make sure the + end is going to the (+) end on the car, same with the (-) end.

I would try testing the led you bought and the stock led bulb. You can do this by connecting the wires to a 9 volt battery. If they light up fine using the battery then you might of have messed up something with your car wiring. GL.

You prolly have the + and - sides wrong. Undo it and flip the wires
