I tried to change my parking lights to LED's and now they dont turn on nor do my fogs or my taillights. What do yall think could have happened? The HID's are working fine and so are all the lights inside. I have no idea what happen and now Im freaking out. Please help.

check the fuses. LED light also have a polarity. Try putting the originals back in and see

I put the originals back in and still nothing. Will the dealer charge me for a fuse if thats what has actually happened?

InRBigness

you can check them yourself. If it is multiple things that are not working then my money is that it is a fuse. That being said it is also highly unlikely that you did it by changing some bulbs unless you shorted out one of the connectors when you pulled it out. Still unlikely. Fuses sometimes just go.

When you changed over things, I assume the power was off. When you turned it on to check did you hear any noise or notice anything else?

Actually I think the first time I put the led in it didn't light up and so I went to pull it out and reverse polarity to get it to work and that's when I noticed that my fogs and parking lights along with my taillights stopped working. I think I left the lights on.

I'm at the dealership right now. Scared about what they might say.

...let us know and good luck to you...whatever it is don't feel stupid it happens to the best of us...but please...take it easy it apperas that you are trying to "rebuild" this RX....lol....I think like the previous person, maybe you blew a fuse by reversing polarity....consult, consult and consult again these forums before you do anything else to that poor Rx 350...lol

Agreed, worst case scenario if your unsure - I'm sure there's people willing to skype you and walk you through it.

Lol...I don't know if u can tell but I'm kinda impatient with things. I like to do everything all at once. I did however get all my interior lights converted to LEDs . Will post pics in my build thread this weekend.

They said I blew a couple of fuses and that it was caused by some high powered device. They want a whopping $138 to fix all of it. I passed on it and will go to auto zone like u recommended.

It turns out after I refused they did it for free. So if anyone has something similar to my issue happen to them, it's most likely a fuse like everyone else said. I wasn't the only one the was in the waiting room that had blown a fuse. Two others sitting by me were in for the same reason.

Sevn, glad to hear the dealer is taking care of it for you. I didn't experience any problems changing out the bulbs on my 450h and that's been quite a few bulbs for me. Do you know what happened to the other people with blown fuses? It hasn't happened in the 13 1/2 year I've been driving the RX.

yeah it's amazing what such a little thing can do to entire vehicle. Glad you told them to stuff there $138 bill (for $.10 cost and 2 mins of work).

Glad you were able to get it all fixed. From now on you know always to make sure the light is OFF before changing. You live and you learn!
