Now before I begin, let me state that the bulbs I am currently using are still intact. In fact, the bulbs I am using are those 5-angled refraction white LED bulbs in replacement of the stock ones (the ones with yellowish-green bulb condoms).
So here's a play-by-play of my situation: 1. Fuse goes out for my interior lights that power the night-effect lights behind the AC Controls, as well as behind gauge cluster, located in the fuse panel by the steering wheel - no big 2. Replaced the fuse. Said interior lights for the AC Controls light back up, but to no avail with the gauge cluster lights 3. I checked LED bulbs, thinking that maybe they just blew - again, no big 4. I replaced the LED bulbs with replacements to see how'd they fair - nothing happens 5. Replaced refraction bulbs with white Pilot LED bulbs - nothing happens 6. Resorted to reinserting stock bulbs - once again, nothing happens I'm not sure what to make of the situation. Has something occurred within the bulb port that runs to the circuitry lines on the back of the cluster, is there another fuse that powers the lights behind the gauge cluster, or could it be something else entirely that I have overlooked? I have indiglo gauges, but I highly doubt that those would affect the bulbs anyway. Long story short, these bulbs light up my needles, and thus somewhat leaves me running blind at night. Any suggestions are welcome. -------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i'm no electrician but are you sure the led's are compatible with the dimmer, i know when you unplug that knob behind the steering wheel the lights will not work, just a thought.
