    Hello friends,
    I wanted to replace my g3 prius interior lights with Led. All of them turned on until I replaced the last one on the door, but the fuse blew out and everything went dark. I replaced the fuse and reinstalled the led but the same thing happens. Does it make any difference in which direction the led is inserted. Positive or negative?


    Thank you

    some led bulbs work only if they're inserted a certain way, but your fuse should not get blown .
    in your case this specific led bulb is very likely shortened internally & therefore the reason for the blown fuse.

    I replaced the blown fuse, reversed the bulb but this time the bulb burnt. Next time I will get better ones and see what happens

    Thank you for your help
