map lights bad?

I just got my car tinted the other week. When i got it back, i pulled the fuse for the power windows so i wouldnt accidentally hit them. I noticed that the map lights stopped working so i thought it was due to the fuse. They're new led lights and ive only had them in for a month or so. Always worked fine no probs. So after i put that fuse back in, they still dont work. any ideas?

Don't do what I did in my old car and think I had a major electrical failure when it was just the dimmer turned all the way down

Assuming that the tint shop also installed a tint strip across the top of the windshield, did you check that they didn't unplug the mirror connection?
