yep, they are the mini-blade types.

the fuse box is on the left side of the steering all the way at the bottom, take off the cover and find the fuse guide.


next time you install leds, make sure everything is turned off or you will short another fuse.

 if u plugged the LED in and it instantly blew the fuse. Then its the LED's fault. DO NOT replace fuse with higher AMPS to keep the LED working.

everything right except for the fuse box location.. there are two in the car.. and the one for the dome light is in the engine bay fuse box.

not the inside one.

 Dude, its a fuse, just head to autozone bro, it takes less than 10 seconds to replace. You wont mess up your car, worst case scenario you will just break your new 10 cent fuse.


The SEARCH feature on the site works, I promise. USE IT!!!

 There should be a diagram on the cover of the fuse box. Find which one is controlling your interior lights. Im upstairs in my house, but Ill be heading down to the car in a bit, if you cant find it, Ill check it out for you.

 ok the reason it blew was cuz i bought the 5mm flexible dome light from oznium. I went to go replace them, and the light blew four more fuses. i finally gave up. how can i make it so it wont blow the fuse? nothing was turned on at the time. or does it just have too much power for my fuse?

 at that point i'd throw the thing away (probably ask for refund or replacement of something else)

if it blew 4 more fuses.. geez... it's faulty.. there has to be something where it's drawing too much current (a flaw of some sort whether it be a short or an engineering design)

the only thing that you should NOT do, is replace the fuse with a higher rated one. circuits and wires are rated to withstand 7.5A and is protected as such with a fuse of that value.

exceeding that may cause wires to overheat, melt, fail, and possibly start a fire.

 Exactly. Just put your stock one back in, and get a replacement of the one you bought.
