Default Hiccup Installing LEDs in the Interior

Hey guys, quick question. I was installing LEDs into the interior today and think I blew a fuse. I was installing the vanity mirror lights when all of a sudden my air conditioning quit and won't turn on. Also, none of the other lights (dome, map, courtesy) will now light up. Radio works, car starts and runs just fine. Any ideas which fuse to check?

Also, before the outage I couldn't get the passenger map light to work. The drivers side and the two domes work just fine but not the passenger map light. I turned it every which way but it just wouldn't illuminate. Any troubleshooting tips there? I will be contacting the vendor.

Thanks!

BTW, I think it's F49 that needs to be replaced...just looking for confirmation.

Where did you get the interior led kit? I have no idea where to source aftermarket or oem parts for this car!! Can anyone list some respected vendors?

Precision LED is where I purchasd my kit. They have a website, so just google them. They sent two dome lights, two map lights, glove box, two courtesy lights (in the floor), trunk, two license plates, and four vanity LEDs for $107. The only mix up was with the vanity lights. The ones they sent are too short, so if you order from them I"d send them an email and mention that to them. Precision also has a good support team to answer any quesions. I purchased some HIDs through them also.

Also, I was able to address my own problems. I did indeed blow fuse 49, easy replace. I just didn't have my manual with me at the time. The problem with the map light was that the wires were not hitting the connector; simple adjustment and a bit of tinkering and I now have beautiful ice white lights throughout the car.

EDIT: I forgot to mention Precision also includes (free of charge) a nice little kit of hard plastic levers/tools to help remove casings. It's not difficult to remove any of the housings though. You only really need their tools for the vanity mirrors. Everything else, even the domes, were done with my bare hands. Just be gentle and you'll be ok.
