So since I couldn't figure out how to get replace the map lights, I picked up the JDM 12 LED Luxer Panel (pic in the link below) to make the interior brighter and cooler at night.

http://www.ijdmtoy.com/webpage/products/panel.htm

Took the stock bulb out, put the panel in, didn't work, turn it around and wala! Looks good! and in a matter of seconds, all the lights went out. So I thought maybe something was loose so I kept making sure it's in, flipping it around but still got no luck. I then went to put in the stock bulb since it's still in good shape but no light at all!!!!! Moments later I tried turning on the map lights but those don't turn on either!!! I didn't even touch the map lights so I think I might have blown a fuse..... Could these LED lights really do that? And how / where do I replace the fuse?

I e-mailed Diana at ijdmtoy for some help so hopefully she can respond within 24 hours. Otherwise I'll take my car over to a Nissan dealer to see if they can figure out what happened..... I hope this didn't void my warranty sigh....

yup, you could have blown the fuse.

The fuse is locared behind the sunglass holder on the left side of the driver side dash board. Once you pull that out, its easy, take a look behind it. You may need a flash light. Your Manual for the car will tell you what fuse and where.

Thanks djtorello! My colleague and I replaced the fuse with a spare in the the fuse box and the lights came back on!

For future reference, the interior lights' fuse on the 2007 Sentra is the 4th fuse up on the left side according to the chart on the back of the driver's side sunglasses/glove box.
