All I did was get to the 3rd brake light by removing cover....I could not remove the light so I just put the decal over it while it was still installed in car...I had my son press the brakes to ensure that the decal was placed correctly. After it was, I put cover back on and noticed one of the dome lights was on and then pressed button to turn it off. I then tried to turn both back on and nothing. The blue LED's are coming on (lights have to at least be in parking mode for them to light up, my bad). Not sure if the dome lights blew (don't think that both would blow at the same exact time) but they are not working in rear. Help.

That almost sounds like the fuse blew on the interior light circuit. I've had this happen to me before, I know you said you checked fuses, but did you check the fuses in the kick panel? That's where this fuse resides.

yeah project, I checked both 7.5 fuses on the L and R kick panels....they both looked good but I may revisit and swap them to see what happens. Very odd, the front work but the back doesn't. Thanks for replying.

Follow up: pulled out both rear bulbs; they looked good but I figured they had to be blown since the fuses were good and the front ones worked. Was going to replace them with LED's and put them back in for the time being. Left car, came back to go to store. Opened door, light in the back seat, bulbs are now working. Go figure.
