Never mind, just a blown fuse.

 

You're lucky as alternative would be replacement of Smart Entrance Control Unit: a while ago someone was replacing trunk bulb and accidentally shortened its contacts->battery saver switch inside SECU went south along with the fuse-> he had to replace it.

 

Yeah, I was worried I messed up something big. I guess the map light needs a little modding if it's going to fit a LED bulb.

 

Please disconnect the battery while playing with this stuff- many small lights around the car are powered through that single chip inside SECU and as soon as someone shortens a bulb he basically shortens its output. It has overload protection and all but sometimes stars are just not in line ... Just treat harness in the car as electric wiring in your house - you wouldn't play around with 'live' wires, would you?

 

There is a group buy thread for LED circuit boards with adapters that plug into stock light bulb sockets. Have a look there.

Thanks, I'll look into those. I bought a couple pairs off eBay but they didn't work, I thought it might have been the bulb.

Yeah, I've learned my lesson. I've never had a problem before but I'll be more careful, thanks!
