Gauge Cluster LEDs... HELP

Because that bulb does not light up when you push the button, it turns on when your lights are on. But you are correct, those are 3mm bulbs, all you need to do is swap em out and they should work assuming you have it connected correctly

Oh, be careful with the flathead, I snapped the f*cken clip off the side of the def switch, and the metal clip fell off, now I cant find it to glue it in. Did you notice the lil brown plastic part on the hazard switch....pull it off....its an even TINIER FREAKIN light bulb. I got mine all installed, have a few pic on my phone....but of course...am waiting for that write up.....silently....waiting.....tick tock...you know...this is where we find out, he's posted it somewhere else.

grrr

And the 2 lower leds were a bigger pain to get in, due to the ends of the light caps mushing when I tried to screw them in....they didnt want to go in nicely.
:evil:

So I went and tried that but I was dumb and had the lights on while i did it and blew the fuse. But I had a spare laying around and I tried again and they didn't work. I might have blown both the bulbs so I'll be making another trip to radioshack tomorrow.

Do the wires matter which side is pos/neg on the little 3mm?

Check bulbs first, if they're blow then There's your problem. I think it does matter but I'll play around with some lights I have and let you knowneither way. I think I might make those pink just for the hell of it, as I have pink 3mm LEDs xD

I'm afraid to open my bag of 4 green 4mms, cuz once its opened, they cant be returned... If that so be the case

you are correct, and no one confirmed my assumption about my defroster actually being the fluke, since the light isnt coming on.. hopefully thats the case =/

Like the contact for the light (not the indicator light) is bad so then the switch would need to be replaced..

You talking about the little brown light?

I just tried to put a new one in the brown tube today and blew my fuse because I had the lights on while i was doing it (duhh)

no, but i saw that post.. the bulb that goes in from the top i think? either top or bottom, you know the one.. light just didnt want to come on.. And it was polarized, so it only works 1 way, so I tried the other way, and no luck
