LED Festoon bulbs problems

[Mannybee]

Has anyone who has fitted these SMD LED type bulbs to replace the interior lights etc, blown fuses because of this? I started fitting these and all seemed to be going well, one by one replaced them, til I was just about to do the last one and the interior lights dies on me. I thought it may have been them switching off automatically, however its not that. Ive checked the 2 fuses ( number 27 and number 28) and they seem to be intact, so Im a bit puzzled now! Car is a 2004 Alhambra Tdi SX. HELP! lol

Im going to put the standard bulbs back in I think. Then try and find out which bloomin fuse has blown. The ones for the interior light seem ok. Spooky!

sorry for the late update, replaced the fuse , number 53 on the board under the dash, its one of them micro fuses so long nose pliers are needed. someone suggested putting all the led bulbs in , first take the fuse out and then put it in afterwards, if one led doesnt light up, turn it through 180 degrees and it should work. i decided not to bother myself. If anyone would like thes LEDs, Pm me and you can have them for a fiver plus postage.
