Try the interior light dimmer switch by the headlight adjustment, near the switch

If that doesn;t work, try the leds, are they in the housings properly

The dimmer switch doesn't make any diff to LEDs. It doesn't on mine anyway.

but the adjuster will lower the voltage or watt's etc etc, so the LED's may not have enough current to work
