Default Audi A6 C7 Interior Lights/Dome Light FUSE???

So I tried to replace my original interior lights in 2012 A6 C7 model to LED....and ended up with no dome, lights in front and back of the car. The sunroof switch still works and all other lights work. What could be the problem? I checked all fuses and they all seem to be good. Im wondering if the light switch blew...

Probably a silly question but is the upper console dome light switch turned off?

The dome light switch is on, I tried switching it on and off a bunch of times in different ways and the lights are still off. I put the original bulbs back inside because I thought I burned the LEDs but nothing.... Im thinking to get the VAG COM..?

There is a fuse box under the steering wheel. Check all fuses there, if any are burned. After replacing the fuse, the lights started working again.

I remember the horn was not working at the time, I don't know about the AC compressor because it was in winter. Did you check the fuses under steering wheel? I think you have to take off th cover, there are multiple fuse places in that car. Make sure you got the right one. I think I found solution to that problem somewhere in threads.

On the left end of the dash board, there is a fuse panel. Open the door and pry the cover off. You will see three fuse holders. On the center fuse holder count down to the #8 fuse. That should be for the interior lights.

There's a diagram in the owners manual.

Did you ever find out what the issue was? I’m having the exact same problem.

I know it may sound stupid but have you tried reversing the bulbs in the holders? LED bulbs only work one way round so if installed the wrong way round will not work.
