Xeon lights

I disconnected my battery today to see if it would fix my interior lights because they all went out yesterday after changing to LED. I've since put the old bulbs back in. When I reconnected the battery one xeon bulb didn't come on. I don't know what's going on with this car.

When you fit led lights they can only go in one way otherwise they won't work.
Normal lights you can put in either way.

When you say xeon I assume you mean the Xenon headlights.
Do you have the message center with a warning?

Is the DS2 bulb gone?

Did you check for bad connections?

I'm sure the car is fine as it's normally the owners getting things wrong

How a few low voltage LED interior lamps are causing this problem.. Check your fuses carefully under the glove box.

I don't know but damage to the BCU could be a problem here.

Yeah the LED bulbs did come on yesterday on the interior and then when I went to do the boot bulb I forgot I'm supposed to disconnect it before fitting the bulb. Then since that the interior wouldn't come on at all. I disconnected the battery as I read somewhere that it resets the ECU. When I reconnected the battery one Xenon bulbs on the drivers side didn't come on. It's a facelift model.

I went to halfords yesterday and they tested all the fuses and said there all ok? So I'm a bit puzzled.
