I just installed red led lights for my interior domes, rear seats and doors.
At first my lights were working, until i got to my last light in the rear and put it in and then all my lights weren't working anymore. Also my remote for my keys doesnt work on the car right now either. So i think i blew a fuse, but im not sure which one i need to replace. I know its a 7.5 amp from reading up on the lights, but there are about 5 in the fuse box.

Also, when trying to install the led light on my driver side door, the bulb holding managed to get pushed inside the door and i cant seem to pull it out...anybody have tips for getting it back out?

thanks!

Pull those 5 fuses and see if they are blown........

If your trying to pull the bulb back out, try wrapping a piece of tape on it and pull the tape.

there isnt a bulb in the socket right now. when i pulled out the oem bulb, i think the housing got out of place and when i pushed the led into the socket, the entire socket went inside the panel without the bulb being in it. im trying to find out a way to pull the housing out so i can put the led in.

You'll have to pull the door panel off to get to the socket and put it back in place. Be careful with the rubber bumper screw---don't strip it or it will be a pain.

Actually, it is pretty easy once you know about the rubber stopper. 4 screws--the rubber stopper screw, one in the lower part of the armrest and 2 behind the cover in the door handle. Once they are all out, pull out along the bottom of the panel and work your way around the entire lower part of the door. That should be all you need to do to get to the light socket. When you are done, line up the panel and just bang it back in and replace the screws.
Again, do not over tighten the rubber bumper screw or you will strip it.
Here is a DIY for the KP Rollup module that has plenty of pics showing how to remove the door panel:

Don't be intimidated---this car is very easy to work on. Its almost like its made of Legos!

so i just bought a pack of fuses and tried to replace it,
at first i put the fuse in and everything was fine for a minute
and then my keys werent working again.
so i tried to put in another fuse, but they kept blowing out
is there some way im supposed to put it in without burning it?

Sounds like you have a short circuit somewhere. perhaps the socket that needs to be pulled back out is grounding out, or in the last light you replaced since that is when you started experiencing trouble.
