Hi everyone,

So I changed interior dome light, front map light, vanity light, puddle light, and courtesy light all to blue LED. Everything was working fine, until when I Was changing out the last courtesy light, after I installed it all the LED would not turn on.... what happened.. some say I might have blew the fuse.. ?

Please help! :'(((

You probably blew a fuse (pretty rare when installing LEDs) or hit the "Door" button on your front dome that disables many of the interior lights.

Damn.. What do I do now? TT

Check your "Door" button setting. If that's not it, replace the fuse.

Most likely a fuse was blown....like brociouz said.

I believe the fuses are under the passenger and driver side kick panels. These can be found in your owner's manual. If not, then a brief listing of the fuses are on the back of the fuse cover.

After you check it and if it is blown, check the last bulb you put in. Make sure it's not defective. Something caused your fuse to blow.

Good luck

Dang man, looks like you are going to have to sell your car now! CRAP!

J/k....The fuses are on both the driver and passenger side floorboard. Just crawl down on the floor and look up, you will see a white door with fuses behind them. They are "mini" fuses like the picture below. You can buy more at AutoZone, O'Reilly, or any place similar.

Thanks for your inputs.

So this has nothing to do with I have too many LED / LEDs that are too bright? Lexus said these LED are too bright and can get really hot and will start burning stuff.

Currently I've installed:
1. Front map
2. Dome
3. Puddle
4. Trunk
5. Courtesy

After I get the fuse replaced, would this setup cause more problems in future?

Btw now my home link buttons are not working either ..

Now that I think about it there was something weird about the last LED that I put in..dunno if it was the real reason tho ..

More than likely you blew a fuse then. It can't be that your LEDs take too much power. I'm sure mine takes more power than stock filament bulbs with all the extra LEDs I put in the car all over the place and I don't have a problem.

Thanks chi123. Where did you have the LEDs installed in your car?

brociouz

You blew a fuse. You were probably installing the LED when the circuit was hot. Replace the fuse and all will be well.

LEDs draw less power than standard bulbs, so it's not an issue of electrical capacity. I have everything changed out to high power LEDs in my car, no problems.

Thanks!

Sorry, but what circuit were you referring to? How can I avoid this in the future?

brociouz

I was just saying that you were most likely changing out the bulb out for an LED when that particular circuit was hot/live/on. You can avoid this in the future by changing out LEDs when the circuit is off - by pressing the "Door" button.
