If u look on the bottom of the fuse box cover theres a diagram of which fuse does what. i dnt know if you knew this already just throwing it out there.

maybe a wire came loose when u put them in or something might wanna check that.

Check the area underneath where the Scion Security/Fogs Switch/etc Panel is. Not the piece that you can pull out, but underneath all that! There's a pic of the layout in your manual. A buddy of mine burnt out his tail lights, and this is where that fuse was. Its accessible by sticking your head in by the pedals and looking up. I hope this helps.

That sucks bro. I thought it would for sure be there. Did you see pg 239 in your manual? #29. says "TAIL 10 A:..." You still might want to change that fuse. My buddy took his to the local Scion dealership and they replaced it for free! No questions asked. Also, I always disconnect my neg. bat terminal when I fiddle with the lights even though you don't have to. I blew the Lugg/Cargo area fuse and my buddy blew his tail fuse when the battery was connected. Funny part is, when he went to install the LEDs in his tails I told him he should disconnect the bat terminal. He shrugged me off. Then he proceeded to blow the fuse.
