If your only having issues with interior LEDs not working, always check the polarity is correct. Most leds can not be reversed but there are some that are designed to go both ways, giggitty. Check and see if your tail lights are still working as well. On my 4the gen I blew a tail light fuse which was also used for interior lights. Took a while to figure out that one. If you got a multimeter you can check and see if your getting power on the light fixture contacts. Remove led bulbs? Put OEM bulbs back? Unhook battery to reset? Sacrifice a goat?
Either way no more dad puns about light please.

Good suggestions here.
Also consider that when replacing OEM incandescent bulbs with LEDs it’s common that the LED base is slightly oversized and when inserting it’s easy to smash two of the socket contacts together or spread them apart too much. Check the light fixture socket for damaged or misaligned contacts. Re-align them if needed. With a voltmeter check for +12v and GND on the contact pins. Push in the door switch button to simulate opening and closing the door; check the contact voltage. Compare your results of the non-working fixture to the working fixture on the passenger side. Check the fuses again. Get back to square one, put a known good incandescent bulb in and test all cases. If all is well carefully install a known good LED and re-test.
