help fast lights dont work

I just replaced my headlights and fogs with some of the Cool Blue lights from Sylvania, and put some red leds in my turn signals. Well I just realized that my gauges dont work, and my taillights dont work until I push the brakes any help on what is wrong. I just a ticket for defective equipment, thats how I realized they were out. My fogs dont work anymore either. I put the originals in them, and they wont work.

hmm...maybe you didnt hook something back up right...check everything again and see maybe if its possible that you blew a fuse? or am i being dumb...

just double check and make sure you hooked everything back up correctly...

Yeah sounds like Master Leo would prob. be right here. Sounds most likely to be a fuse problem...

My headlights work fine, but my taillights wont come on, my interior lights dont work and my corner lights dont work. I've gone through every fuse atleast 3 times and I cant find one thats blown. Also this is really off of what I am asking, but does anybody know if I get this fixed and go to the court will they dismiss the ticket.

make sure to check the fuse under the hood, then take those LEDs out!! some cheap LEDs can cause all sorts of strange problems when they are in, it cant hurt to switch them back to stock

Check fuse 33 in the underhood fuse/relay box. It powers the dash lights and all of the external running lights except the headlights.

dont LEDs require less power to operate then stock lights? this may cause a problem with completed circuits which have to be done for lights to work.
