Map / Ceiling lights does not light up when door is open

I replaced my regular map lights with LED ones yesterday. Now when I open the door, the map lights does not come on. Out of curiosity, I plug the old bulbs back to see if it works, Nope did not anymore.

I have replaced the 7.5 amp fuse in the passenger fuse box and still nothing.. btw it does come on when I push the on off switch, that part is working fine. It does not come on when I open my door.

Any Ideas?????
