Default Electrical problem?

Hi guys I just addited this thread so i dont have to open a new one..

I jsut did LED swap in my car ...I got 5led bulbs for interior and they look awsome... i have 1 problem which i cant figure out whats wrong...all the bulbs in door pannels are working person axcept rear passenger side door light is very dull and rear maplight is dull.So i opened the cover and noticed only 1 out of the 5 led is on and 4 are not...any idea what it might be? i swaped the bulbs out and its the same problem ..no when i open the door, map light is dull but when i click the light switch it works perfect...same exact problem i have on passenger side frotn side marker ...i think car has some kinda electrocal problem ? any idea what it might be...i will post pictures tomorrow so you can see waht i am talking about if i cant clearify the problem good enough here! any help would be appriciated

I'm pretty sure you just burnt a fuse. check your fuse box.

not even on the low beam nothing is turning on ...
but as i said when i click to parking lights switch, only tails turn on ...side markers and headlight parking dont turn on at all...
is there a fuse box inside or outside of the car ....you think its 2 seperate fuses tails and front (Paking lights)

prob a fuse, if the low beams are still turning on then maybe blown bulbs.
