Default Blue interior leds...

So I'm changing ALL of my interior lights to blue leds! Ive already done the dome & map lights and the door lights! Next is the light behind the ash tray in the dash and a/c lights! The ash tray light was out and I ordered my leds from superbright leds, put the bulb in and still no light!!! So which fuse would I have to check! Also how do I change the lights behind the a/c controls???

are you doing gauge cluster and everything?

if you do a search for led gauge lights you can find one thread that has a video or link to a video of how to do it all

on the ash try light, are you sure it worked before putting the bulb in? when i changed mine, not only was the stock bulb burned out, but after putting it all back together, i found out that the power wire going to the bulb was no good. had to take it all back apart and redo the wires. and im not sure how much you know or dont know about led's, but did you try it both ways? theyre directional, so it could be in backwards if you didnt check that.

No the bulb didnt work, so I assume the bulb was out. When I put the new led bulb in, that didnt work either so Im guessing its a fuse??? But the lights behind the a/c ***** did work but went out so Im trying to figure out out to get to those bulbs! I dont know anything about re-wiring the power wire but does it disconnect like a plug-n-play???

yeah, i think it did. i cant remember really, but i think that the wire was broken or something around where the plug in is. i did all my interior lights except cruise control, i gave up and just took the green ones out. i couldnt get it to solder no matter what. have any questions about any of it just let me know
