numberplate light issues

[Dimmock197]

last night i went to change my number plate lights on my 197 to LED bulbs, i decided to do it (maybe stupidly) with the lights on so i could ensure i had the new bulbs the right way round (im sure they only work if there plugged in a certain way round) and i got the one in and it was on and working fine then went to put the other in and got sparks and then the other light went out and now they dont work, now obviously i thought it would just be the fuse so checked on here what fuse it would be and it says it would be the same one that operates the interior lights and a fog light, but all other lights are working apart from the number plate lights... anyone have any ideas what ive done? or what i will need to do?

thanks

I have a 1.2 mk2 and just changed the number plate bulb to led, i also decided it was a good idea to clean the connections with the car still on so oops fuse blown.

it took some finding, on my car it was the fuse that controlled all the left hand side lights (apart from main head lights), the speedometer lights and interior lights
