Exclamation Interior lights stopped working

Hello I just had went to my car to get one of my books out of it and my interior lights and the lights under the mirrors and the light that's on in the feet area stopped working. I have a 2008 Lexus is250, could it be that the fuse just burned out or is there something more major than that.

Check the fuse.

Seems like Fuse 9 went out.

Can it be because I swapped out my original dome lights with LEDs?

Did the LED lights every work? Meaning.... once you put them in....when you tested them, they worked fine and only now stopped working?

Alot of times, since the LED lights are fairly cheap, the slightest movement will make them go off. I would suggest moving the bulb around, maybe switching the positive and negative sides.

Yes I tested them and they worked fine. I installed them about a week or so ago and they worked like a charm. Just yesterday my lights stopped working. I'll check the fuse later on if it burned I'll obviously replace it, but would you guys recommend removing the LEDs and putting the stock bulbs in?
