I had LED lights in my license plate sockets. One night after being at a car show I had no dash lights. It turned out that one of the chips fell out of the LED and caused a short. Knocking out the dash lights and license plate lights.
They were cheap garbage bulbs and closing the trunk was the cause of the failure. I only use the regular type Sylvania bulbs in there now.
