Default Courtesy Light No Longer Working?

I just tried to change my courtesy door light with and LED bulb but it stopped working. I might have pulled it on accident. Is there anyway I can fix it myself or something?

Check the fuse.

Some of the lights are tied to the dome light, so if the dome light is set to off the other lights will not turn on as well. Check if the dome is set to "door".

check dome light to see if its on or check the led because sometime you just have to turn it around incase they don't work

put the oem bulb back,if it turns on,prob your led has prob,try to turn it other way,might the polarity of the led or the terminals of leds not getting contact with the terminal of the courtesy light,if you put the oem bulb back on and still no light at all,it might be fuse or might disconnect by pulling hard.

How do I check the fuse? Sorry for the noob question...
And I plugged the stock bulb back in and it doesn't turn on anymore. The dome light is switched to door cuz the passenger's door light comes on when opened. Helppp
