and brake/reverse lights aren't working. Any ideas beyond fuses? I've already replaced the #3 brakelight fuse with no success. Yes this happened while trying to install led taillights.

Turn signals and running lights are working which is odd. Car fires up and drives (have to use the transmission override switch), no other dash lights or anything else out.

Yes I'm sure u plugged the led tails wrong.. Try switching the reverse lights from the signal lights..
Or try switching the top led to the bottom led lights..

Alright, it was the #15, "STOP" fuse, (which incidentally is a 15a fuse). I went though about 6 fuses in the pep boys parking lot this morning, one of the resistors on the lights must be bad, anytime i'd hit the brakes, the fuse would blow again. Made sure everything was in the right spot, even tried switching plugs like you suggested, blown everytime. Plugged my stock taillights back in and no problems.

Happy it was an easy fix (even bought a brake light switch just in case), not happy that i'm going to have to send these lights back.

^^ I got insurance depot LED tails from japan and didn't install the resistor that came with it and never had a fuse pop or any problems for years.
