Help!

I just swapped out the interior lights with blue LED's. Installed map lights first, door lights, and the lights in the rear. I noticed that the lights were getting dimmer as I was replacing the drunk light.
Now my car won't start and there was a clicking noise coming from the hood, but not from the starter.
Any ideas guys??
Thanks!

This. Led replacements don't cause dead batteries.

Have you tried jumping the vehicle yet? They will click incessantly when battery is low, i know you said you have had the battery "checked" but led's draw LESS power than regular incandescent bulbs, and wouldn't have created an issue unless you shorted something out by jumping the +/- with some metal
