You might have to change the bulbs back due to the amperage difference between the LED and the normal filament bulbs. But first let's check the fuse #14 and #4 in the fuse panel on the driver's side. Here is a guide to help you test the fuse and see if they have power, I would also recheck the electrical connector at the rear of the panel.

Here are the fuse locations in the images below. Please let us know what happens.
