Interior Lights do not work! Help please!

Hello everyone,

I bought a 2014 EVO X 2 weeks ago and just installed new led dome/interior lights and they will not come on. I am trying to locate the fuse under the drivers side dash and under the hood but I cant seem to find a blown fuse any where. Does anyone have a picture showing where the fuse is located? I feel like a dummy because this is a very simple fix. This is the first EVO I have ever owned so I am not familiar with it, but I do know how to build/work on cars.

The radio works, cigar lighter and dash lights so it does not make since to me why the lights do not operate. I believe I have checked all the fuses. If anyone has a picture or diagram that shows the fuse number that would be a big help. Has anyone else had this problem? Please don't flame me I just need some help.

These are from the GR00000500-90.pdf file in the 2008 manual - CIRCUIT DIAGRAMS.

I think you'd want to look at fuse #9 (15A) and #5 (10A). Hope this helps.

I know this is a silly question, but did you check the position of the dome light switch position after installing them? (on/off/door)

Also, are those LED polarity sensitive? Did you try flipping them around?

Another test: do the OEM lights work? If so then you'd want to check the LEDs.

I looked at this and the fuses are not blown but I will make sure they are the right fuse size. I let you know what I find out. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

LMAO! Yeah I checked the on/off/door and I will flip the light around to see if it makes a difference.

The OEM's did not work. I am going to check the fuses and reverse the LED's.
