already did a quick search and didn't find anyone with the same problem or any answers. not very knowledgeable about electronics on the car but where can i check the fuse and how do i know if it's bad? remember it WAS working RIGHT before i took out the bulb then it just wouldn't turn back on

Did you turn your lights back on?
You do know that the glove box light only works with the lights on.......right?
Whether it's LEd or bulb....gotta have them lights on!
I'll bet your turned the lights of when you pulled the bulb and put the LED in and eventually the bulb back in and NEVER turned your lights back on! It has happened before..........don't make me go find the thread!![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Here is just but one thread that I found on the subject! https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...ighlight=glove

as for the wires, they appeared to be okay. i didn't really tug on them too hard or anything while taking out the bulb.

If you tug too hard i think you only risked pulling the socket. The backend of the wire goes to a big bundle that is wrapped up pretty tight (i just was working on tapping into the light for my gauges last night). The socket is pretty weak and the wires are real tiny so its possible to have separated them a bit.
