Question LED Plates lights stopped working

Hey guys, hope someone can help me out.

They working up until this week, I installed black lines and then all of a sudden my Plate lights stopped working, do you think it might be a fuse?
Does anyone know where it's located?
I'm not getting any error codes.

Go through all your fuses and check to see if any are blown. The fuse guide isn't as specific as it should

It's not the OEM plate lights, they are the after market LED lights. I'm just wondering if it's a compatibilty issue with the black lines. I'm going to put the old ones back in this afternoon to see if they work. That way I'll know if it's the fuse or not.

One other thing, where is the fuse box for this bulb located?

In your glove box, behind a removable plastic board.

Ok So checked the fuse and it's fine and I also replaced the bulb and that's not the problem. I'll have to check the wiring next before I take it into the dealer. Is my warranty still valid since I installed Black Lines?

If the Blacklines are OEM then they shouldn't give you any slack about it. Besides, they'd have to prove the blacklines caused the issue in order to void your warranty
