Default Scion interior lighting

So, I have the manufacturer interior lighting kit installed, which I feel is a huge waste of $250, but its a little late now. Anyways, I decided it wasn't enough and started adding more LEDs. One thing led to another and now none of them turn on. Anyone know which fuse those go to?

I piggy backed on to the existing wires. Maybe not the best idea in retrospect, but whats done is done.

well that indeed is not a good way to do it........you have access to a voltmeter.......and you will also need a 12v soursce tester,it is the pointy screwdriver thing that lights up when it touches 12v power.

once you get that and tell us what wire you tapped into location wise for power we can move forward,also check your grounds and did you use crimps or just electrical tape it all,I ask cause doing it right the first time is always gonna save you from car burning to the ground.

I've also heard that to install LED's you need some form of transformer (or something) as well even if you have the factory kit installed.
