Unhappy 2000 RL Courtesy/Puddle Lights Fuse Location?!

So I've been switching out all my interior lights with LED bulbs and have come across a very confusing situation. My dome lights work fine with the same exact LED's but the courtesy lights (1 in each door) stopped working the second I removed the first stock bulb. This made me think that they're all on the same circuit so I used a multi meter to figure out which was positive and negative, then referencing the working dome light socket to test and verify that all my LED's are fully functional and installed the correct way. The strange thing is that each courtesy light socket is supposed to be at 12V however my multi meter is reading 1.3V on each one. I read somewhere that this could potentially mean that I've fried my ICU but seeing how the ICU effects various other electrical aspects of the car that are all working fine, I dont think so. Does anybody know what this could be? I've checked every light related fuse that I could think of but am I missing something?

Recap:
Door indicator on dash: OK
Dome Light: OK, dims after the cut off time.
Courtesy light: Not working on all four doors, reading 1.3V in each door
All other electrical aspects of the car are fully functional!

What happened when you put the bulb back in?

I'm guessing you probably fried the fuse on that circuit somehow when you were installing or removing the bulb. I would check the fuse for the vanity lights.
