So after one side of my gauge had no lights I went and replaced them with blue LED's (these ones http://www.jaycar.co.nz/productView.asp?ID...p;form=KEYWORD). They worked fine for a while but now the middle and right one are flickering which is really annoying and distracting tonight. Does anyone know why this might be happening I would be very thankful

Very common thing. It's from varying wattage and in my personal experience, low quality LED's. I used to buy v-led's and occasionally use my dimmer and I had this problem frequently. I switched to Diode Dynamics LED's and stopped dimming them and haven't had a problem since.
