SO take the lights out and see if everything starts working again. If not, check your fuses, dummy.

STOP IT. The lights worked then they stopped, and now now everything but my alarm, lock, unlock, and dome lights will work.

LED map lights = being able to read stuff in the cabin better. Sounds like a good thing to me.

Nala sell your truck, If you decide to keep it then POST IN THE RIGHT f***ING SECTION. That is one of MANY reasons you get crap from NICO.

Well no sh*t sherlock, that's what happens when a fuse goes out.

Those LEDs need more current than what the wiring and fuse is rated for in your car.I suggest you tear the wiring out and re-wire the lamp so you can use a higher rated fuse. Or better yet, just put in a higher rated fuse. Whats the worst that could happen?

Nissans are picky when it comes to electrical. Next time you feel like upgrading your lights ask other members what they have had success with so that you don't run into problems. There is so much junk out there and it's easy to pick the incompatible stuff. It took 3 shops to install the daytime running lights in my car. Even the manufacturer of the kit said their kits are for all cars except Nissan and Infiniti.
