    Interior lights not working?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I installed the majority of the interior led lights from a kit bought online and now all of them have stopped working. So what I did was I replaced the front dome, front sun visor and rear dome lights inside the car. I was in a rush and couldn't finish the glovebox and the trunk on Saturday so I got back to it today. I replaced the glovebox light to led and now I noticed all throughout the car they are all not working Did I blow a fuse or what could be the issue?

    Where was the kit ordered from? I know on my A4 when I ordered the usp motorsports LED kit I had 2 of them stop working within a week and they were great and replaced them with free shipping. My LED kit in the S3 hasn't had any issues from USP but they are only 2 weeks in.

    I got this kit off eBay. I ended up replacing the fuse for the interior lights and they're working great again

    I love when it's an easy fix lol. Glad you were able to figure it out. Weird how they blew the fuse when they draw less power.

    Yeah, it happened during install. What happened was the glovebox light never goes off so I didn't have anyway to turn the electricity off and I tripped the fuse. Luckily it was only a $1.50 fix from the local dealer

    I do have to admit the fuse location is horrendous. Its right under the steering wheel and you have to have toddler sized hands to be able to freely access the fuses. It took me longer to replace the fuse than all the leds!
