Default Help with LED install

Just received my car a couple of hours ago and decided to try and change interior globes to LED. The front were working fine but new when I changed the rear dome lights they stopped working. Checked the fuses in engine bay and all good and even reinstalled the originals now none of them work.
Any advice greatly appreciated

^ x3 flip them around, reverse the polarity and you should be good to go. If they still dont come on, best bet is to take a multimeter to the fuse that supplies power to the dome lights just to be sure the fuse is GTG. Samething happened when I changed my bulbs out to LEDs so I doubt you messed anything up. Good Luck and hopefully we all helped you out.

Thanks for the help, it was a blown fuse - I was looking in wrong spot. All interior lights working with LED except the vanity lights under mirror on sun visor and I haven't changed them to LED. No idea if they even worked before
