Diode Dynamics Kit Help

[Dss1593]

Bought the interior led conversion kit stage 1 cool white online, installed it the other day everything went fine except the glove box light wouldn't turn on. Later on the two vanity lights wont turn on nor the trunk light. The only lights that work are the map lights but only when you open the car door. If I open the car door the map light turns on, if I hit the map light button they turn off but then I hit the button again and they wont turn on. I took the bulbs out and flipped them and still nothing, then went ahead and put my stock lights back in but the same thing happens. The map light only turns on when the door is open. I have a 2017 GT PP, anyone have similar problems?

Exact same thing happened to me. What happened is you blew a fuse when installing the glovebox light. The glovebox bulb holder is all metal so it's super easy to short it out. You need to replace the small red 10A fuse in the passenger footwell. Look in your owners manual, I believe its for "Demand Lamps" on number 1, page 207. Real PITA trying to find that fuse locally. It uses the new "Mini 2" style fuse.

Same exact thing happened to me, you shorted the glove box one and blew what's called the "On-Demand Fuse" which powers all of the manual lights. Your map lights have a separate fuse for when you open your door but the buttons run through the on-demand fuse which is fuse #1 in your manual. That's all that's borked so you can drive in the dark or what-not with no problems. Just no vanity/trunk/glove/button maps.

What they don't tell you is that the whole glove-box light assembly comes out really easily. First off, remove that assembly as it's held by a small clip that will come out if you twist a bit and you can easily replace the light in the proper orientation and then pop the whole thing back into place.

Then replace the fuse as @Coconut mentioned. Fuse box passenger side right-foot area, just pull the panel. Use a small pair of needle-nose pliers or something similar to pull it out and replace.

It would also be prudent to disconnect your battery when changing these bulbs.
