Default Problems with Hi-Beams/DRL's

I have a 2000 GS400 and just recently replaced the accent wedge bulbs (PolarG M6) in the Hi-beam housings with 5 SMD LED bulbs. They look great but now I noticed that my DRL's don't work! I checked the Hi-beams and both of those don't work either! What gives? I'm going to check the fuse panel but is there anyway that the LED's could have caused this problem eventhough they are different sockets???

Found out what the problem was...blown bulbs. lol. I can't believe that my oem high beams that I stored away were blown too; that's weird. When I saw that these didn't work then I thought there was something major wrong. I went to a friend's local shop and we threw in some Xenon 4300K 9500 bulbs and both the High beams and DRL's work great! Thanks for the help anyways!
