led gauge lights, but i have a problem.
led gauge lights, but i have a problem.
i put led white 4x 120 degree 194 led lights in my gauges on my 90 rs, there is only 4 bulbs.
i made sure all the bulbs worked and also put power to the cluster for the lights to make them work,
but i put the cluster back in and i can only get the right side two bulbs to work.
what is going on?
also for some reason the lettering on the gauges looks greenish, how do i fix this?

Re: led gauge lights, but i have a problem.
The leds you bought may be polarized meaning they only work if plugged in in one directions, flip em around and see if that helps. Also clean the contacts on the circuit board with rubbing alcohol or a pencil eraser. The gauges are greenish because they're tinted yellow and the led's are making it look green. Not much you can do about it. BTW I'm pretty sure there are more than four back light bulbs in the cluster

Re: led gauge lights, but i have a problem.
also make sure your cluster is plugged in all the way, are all your gauges working?
Re: led gauge lights, but i have a problem.
well if i take the cluster out and put power and ground to it i can light the lights up and if i take the light socket out i can make the bulb light up so i know they are working.
there are only 4 bulbs that light the gauges, the others are for like service engine and stuff like that.
and yes all my gauges are working fine, the speedo is a lil off but still working, and its all plugged in at the back of the cluster, and they were working before the leds so idk
