Console Lights + Taillights do not turn on

Hey guys,
I recently installed LED bulbs for my license plate and now when I turn on my headlights, the console lights and taillights do not turn on. Also the navigation unit does not dim from Day to Night setting. The taillights and license plate light works because when I lock and unlock the cars all lights blink. I'm pretty sure it's not the LED bulbs. Maybe a fuse blew for my console lights? Please can someone help me?
Thanks in advance.

first check your fuses. secondly try swapping the regular bulbs back in to rule out the LEDs

Thanks I'll check first thing in the morning. Has anyone else who changed their LEDs encounter the problem? Also, is there a fuse for the console lights?

check fuses 4,7,21 in the driver side under dash fuse/relay box

also you should probably be using a resistor inline with the LEDs
