I swapped out my license plate lights for LEDs and they ran fine for awhile. Then just went out, can an LED swap blow a fuse? I recently washed my car and that's when i noticed that the lights were not working. Maybe i got water where it shouldn't be? LOL.

if the LED bulbs are rated for that then they shouldn't although anything is possible, have u replaced the fuse? maybe just a bad fuse

Yea I replaced the fuse. I put the regular halogens back in and its working now, but i plan on putting the LEDs back in. Later. Thanks.

yo, the same thing happened when i replaced all the dome lights with leds. i just upgraded the fuse though i dont recommend that, it could be a fire hazard.

leds draw far less current than the standard bulbs. unless u wire up a shit load of leds to one fuse circuit there wont be a problem. mayb they just came loose, my tag lights are led also and if u dont seat them just right they wont work ( not talkin about the reversing the polarity thing) i mean if u push them in to far or not far enough they wont work. maybe urs just vibrated out of place.
