Gauge Cluster Lights failing Options

[tjblacrosse]

I recently bought a set of white LED's (194) for my gauge cluster and ever since I had them working perfectly and evenly, one has dimmed itself down and now the tachometer light is flickering constantly. The weird thing about it is that if you look close enough, you can that the numbers look like they're partially covered by something.
They used to look like this: (without the red needles)


Now they look like this:


Any ideas? I was suggested to check the current, grounds, and alternator. But I doubt that is the cause or else the first thing to lose power would be my radio and other instrument lights. Please help!

well.. the ones i got i paid about $4 a pop for and have had for several months and have a pwm setup to dim them safely, otherwise they are headache bright even with interior neons, 60,000mcd rated

i know the ones culpable is/was selling are good as are the ones dustin posted not too long ago, both of them are about $7 a piece

Yup I bought from culpable and he said I'm the only one with these problems. Its pretty irritating at night, I almost have a seizure. Should I just spend 11 bucks and get some PIAA or Matrix ones off ebay? I really want to get these fixed quick, along with both my cv shafts, lol.
