Help!! Map Lights Malfunctioning

Hey everyone, I had just put LED's into my map lights and (after proceeding to blow the fuse multiple times) I can only get one side to work. I've tried rotating them and switching them out, even going back to the stock bulbs and only one side will turn on.

I wonder if I fried a circuit board or something? It can't be a fuse because all of my other interior lights turn on.

When I click the side that doesn't work on the diode dimly flashes for a second, but no luck trying to get it to stay on.

I hope it isn't a BCM problem. If it is, do you think the unit will need to be replaced?

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Yep I figured out the same thing. Have any idea where we could order just the switches? Miyama is the manufacturer, part is MS-010A.

I haven't had a bit of luck. I think I'm going to have to resort to buying a new unit off of ebay ~40$

What part did you search for on car-part?

I've tried going through the list but haven't been able to find anything that has to do with interior lighting.
