Question help! reverse light not working

hey guys,
i installed leds the other day in my reverse lights and for some reason the left one did not work. i replaced the led with the stock bulb and it still wasnt working so I'm guessing I either broke something or maybe unplugged a wire?Any ideas? Your guys helps greatly appreciated

Check the fuse for the backup lights located in the driver's side footwell area.

Is it possible that the led was reversed and the old bulb got damaged?

You could try another bulb. If that doesn't work check the wiring to the socket to see if it's loose.

Worse case, reinstall the OEM bulbs and take the car the dealer.

i have the same problem, my LED bulbs were installed and operational, but few months later i installed the backup camera, it stopped working, fuses are okay, and i did not touch the OEM wiring in the back of the car, only the front where the adaptor was installed, which i was told by the manufacturer beat-sonic that it is not related to that.

any updates on how you solved this?
