You blew a fuse. Go to the fuse panel and replace it.

thanks Jhon
I checked no special fuse assigned to this lite only dome lite fuse and it`s ok,anyway
I have been with the dealer checked all over no fuses blown wire, they said have to change the fuse box, the car under warranty.But I did not like this decision due to car new and maybe need more openup. I believe something not major as fuse box maybe relay,ecu....etc.
need help
Regards

There's no way it's the whole fuse box just from a quick short. Are you sure each fuse is fine? Did the dome light bulb blow?

Check the BIU. People have reported that improper LED installation would lead to the destruction and subsequent replacement of the BIU (~$800 part, I believe?).

I'm fairly certain there is a factory TSB on it

It's always a good idea to turn off the dome light before trying to install an LED in it. That's one easy way to prevent fuses from blowing.

This. Should be covered under warranty. But a little scary the dealer didn't pick up on that...They have to scan the car with techstream and they should have had a code pop up to what the failure was (which *should* show the BIU).

Could possibly not be it, but i'd guess it was.
