map light wont turn on..

Well a few days ago I tried everything to replace the map light bulbs with LEDs but when I was using tweezers to pry them out both of the bulbs went out..I assumed I may have blown a fuse so I checked the fuse box but fuse was still good..any other things to check?

Should have used to finishing string or floss to get the bulb out. And he's right ^ flip them. I had to do the same thing.

Flip them and if they still don't work you have junk LEDs.

You probably broke the bulb while taking it out.
