Did you turn the light switch to off before swapping? Are the rest of your lights working?

Computer may have shut the circuit off if it shorted. You should make sure that when you work on the lights turn the dimmer to the off position so you don't risk shorting it. You can double check the fuses but I think it's 1 fuse for all the cab lights. Hopefully someone else has an idea how to check them.

Pull down the center console and make sure the switch is still in place. I knocked one of the switches loose on accident when I did mine. Also, keep in mind that it is possible to install LED's 'backwards'. If they don't work, try turning them around.

It pops out, you can pull down from the sides of the map lights and pop that end to get enough clearance. The switch he is talking about is a white push-in that sits in the housing and activates when you push the lens. If you push your lens and get the "click", your switch is probably fine. If it seems 'floppy' when you click the map light, the switch is probably dislodged.

I dislodged my switch when I went to change mine. Thought I really screwed things up since I have integrated LEDs.
