Navigation Lights

So I just replaced some of the lights around my navigation to lens and now some of the new led lights don't work? Did I blow a fuse or anything?

thanks

So I flipped the and some more started to work but the original ones that were out did not come on. This is how it looks. Is there a fuse to look at or since other Light work I the fuse is good.

the lights that don't work are the mode on both sides and the fan speeds map/guide and cancel and audio.

Thanks for the help

All those lights run on the same fuse, If one blows they all blow. You probably haven't inserted them all the way or you have incorrect polarity, you gotta flip them again. That or your LED's were a bad batch.

I flipped all the lights and even put the old ones I'm and for some reason those will not come on. Also my defrost indicator light does not come on. It works and it illuminates when I turn on my lights.

Any other ideas?

Thanks all for the help

Do all the functions for the buttons that are not lit still work?

Regarding your defrost indicator light are you talking about the tiny orange indicator dot not lighting up or the defrost icon not being lit?

Yes all the buttons work. Just the lights are not coming on.

Yes the orange indicator light does not come on. The defrost works.

Thanks

Bulbs can be DOA, flip them with one of the working ones to see

"Yes the orange indicator light does not come on. The defrost works."

Okay theres the source of your problem. The orange dot is a soldered LED, it should never go bad. If it's not lit there's a wiring fault somewhere.
Assuming the lights are still not lit in that photo you posted, I'm thinking it has to do with your head unit not receiving/sending enough power.

You'll first need to confirm your getting a steady 12V on the bulb wires. You can look up the official TL manual on acurazine for the wiring diagram.
