Sounds like you've shorted it. Why not change the fuse anyway? Have you tried swapping back to the OEM bulbs? Also the LED's will only work one way round. It's a 7.5 amp fuse in the drivers side Fuse Box. IIRC it's all in the manual, I can't remember which position. EDIT: just looked on my-GTI.com. Position 15 in drivers door fuse box (scan down)..Click here
I had the same problem, the boot bulb is the only one I can't change to LED, and I have tried quite a few.

Was about £15 delivered on ebay
Been a total idiot and somehow blown the interior lights trying to fit an LED bulb in the boot area. Had a look in the fusebox at the side of the dash and i can't see any 'burnt' fuses. Any ideas what i've done? Really miss having lights inside the car lol.
