Hmmm, not very easy to blow a fuse there, did you have them ON while changing them? If so easy fix just access your fuse there are replacement fuses on the lid and diagram to what goes with what. Worst case scenario you have to go pick another one up at autozone. I know nothing about fuses except when one blows, you gotta replace which cost about $.20

I just went ahead and brought it to the dealership. I think I accidentally left the lights on when changing the passenger side parking light.

Yeah that would do it. I made the same mistake. Sucks you took it to dealer, don't let them charge you more than $20. It would literally take a trip to Auto parts store and total WORK time about 2 minutes tops.

I'm gonna see what they say. If they charge some rediculious amount I'm gonna go to auto zone and try do it myself. The thing that scares me is I have to drive at night and if my tails aren't working I don't want the cops pulling me over.

Joe, if I put in a led that's 1.5w each in both the front parking lights will it cause the fuse to blow out again?

If you look under the hood you can't miss the fuse box (on the driver side). Open the fuse box and use the diagram and it's pretty clear and simple. Once you pull the fuse out look at it and you'll see it busted. There's even replacement fuses inside the cover.

I changed 12 so far. I still have to change my trunk lights and the puddle lights cuz they are on backorder from v-leds. About the fuses i have no idea how many i blew but the dealer fixed them for free after I refused to pay $138. They are on the drivers side like Joe said.

Very interesting experiment you have done there. May I ask where you can get this Plasti Dip product locally? I know you can order them online but if it's not too hard to find, I'd probably just pick them up instead of waiting for a shipment. Thanks.

You can get it at Lowe's or Home Depot. I "believe" they also have a glossy finish now, but they don't sell it at HD. The one I used is the regular which comes out a matte finish.
