Guys, you just saved my day with the pic of the glove box fuse. I had blown it when I attempted to change to an LED. So, I went ahead and put it in anyway. Now that Ive changed the fuse, the LED is still working properly. Ive opened the glove box about 30 times just to make sure.

No biggie though, if it pops, I will replace it with one of the stock halogen ones and replace the fuse again since I know exactly where it is now!!

I did some digging and found out about a fuse that you can replace it yourself for under $6.00 (5 pack)! The fuse is 10A "minis.:thumbup: This is the site,
