led gauge lights FAIL

Soo I saw how everyone is putting led light bulbs into their gauge clusters with success and how well it lights things up. I ordered a bunch of led bulbs and the light sockets to install. Did it all up, and now nothing works at all when I put the gauge cluster back into the dash. Pushed on it etc and the gauges work but now the turn signals both light up and it jacks with the gauges when activated as well. I took out all the led bulbs and put my old ones back with some of the new sockets and just 194 bulbs. What the heck did I do to it? Did I screw up the copper on the back potentially? Is the cluster in series or parallel? Wouldn't some of the lights work? I am thinking I might have to get another used cluster and put my odometer/speedometer in it. Fail.
