    Hello everyone I have a 4th Gen 4 runner
    I just replaced Interior lights to L E D s
    And now they won't turn on
    Do all the bulbs have to be in for all of them to work correctly ?

    None are working at all?

    Did they work with the old bulbs?

    Check fuses. Also, try putting back in an old bulb and see if it works.

    They shouldn't have to all be in for it to work.

    none yet
    I always just replace one bulb and see if it works before getting carried away
    less chance of things going wrong and it taking a long time to find where the hiccup is
    just a thought

    If NONE are working, the common link is the interior light fuse. Definitely check bulbs too. And sometimes, especially with the cheap Amazon, the bulbs aren't constructed with the correct resistance/chipsets needed.

    Not bad advice. We've all learned the hard way. Lol.

    Thank you all for the information
    I figured out that it was a fuse
    All my lights are working perfectly fine now

    Welcome from Wisconsin! It seems we had a problem with 1 of our LED's not working, so I took out the bulb in question turned it around and it is still working today, it's been 2 1/2 yrs. Are LED's polarity sensitive?

    I know some of them are. I used to install a lot of LED tape for under cabinet lighting, and it wouldn't work if polarity was reversed.
