Blowing fuse when replacing map light

Blowing fuse when replacing map light
I have replaced all my interior bulbs with LED type on my 2010 Accord.
I blow the interior fuse when I insert the LED bulb for my maplights.
Prior to it blowing, my driver side map light was working fine and the passenger side bulb just needed a turn and it came on. Not sure what I've done, but now when I insert the LED bulb into the maplight socket, I blow my 7.5a minifuse under the hood.
Grounding issue I suppose ?
Anyone have this problem?
Thanks,

PAhonda, I figured out , or should I say my mechanic noticed this, that the bulb I was using was making contact with a piece of metal between the bulb sockets and causing the short thus blowing the fuse. Here is the pic of the bulb I have for my maplights.
High Power LED Festoon (each) - 3CHIP - College Hills Honda
He placed a small piece of electrical tape behind the middle portion of the LED bulb and that fixed my issue. That goes to show you what I know when it comes to grounding/electrical issues. All is well now. Now when I open my door when it's dark, man the difference all those LED bulbs make to illuminate the inside of my car. Very bright and has a much whiter light to it.
