Default tail lights stoped working after led install

Hey guys i just put a white 194 led bulb in the license plate socket, and it worked and looked alright, then i took it out and put some tin foil to make the led reflect (since leds are direct light) back in and put the cover on and now my tail lights and license plate lights don't work! i tried the key in every position and i tried the lights with the car on.

my headlights, turn signals, and brake lights still work. but the tails and license plate light are not working at all. wtf did i do

does anyone know what fuse i should check?




EDIT: fixed it, small red fuse with the # 10 on it. i think it was labeled small light on the fuse cover by your clutch foot.
