Exclamation Tail lights and License plate lights OUT!!!

I installed a pair of LED License plate bulbs for my 2010 370z and a few minutes later I noticed that the tail lights/license plate lights were not lighting even if the lights were on the "on" position. The brake light and the reverse lights work fine.. Anyone know which fuse I need to replace (and which location) ? I didn't see one for specific for Tail lamps.
Thanks,
- Neil

Is it the fuse or the LED burn out?

Just check the connections. Same thing happened with my license plate bulbs. The connections seem very finicky.

I'm hoping that it's only the fuse. Weird thing is that the Brake lights work. But not to sure to be honest.

I forgot to mention that the front headlamps/parking lights work as well.
