I posted original thread here...but I replied to my own message several times and thought that it may have appeared to be resolved. The original thread is here

What happened is I pulled apart my dash and replaced the lights with LEDs, some of the spots were too small to fit the taller LED bulbs so I changed them back to incandescent bulbs. Anyhow, for some reason the fuel, turbo, and gas gauge won't light up and I can't figure out why? Any help would be appreciated. I checked with a MM last night and got about 9 Vs from the working ones and approx 8 Vs from the ones not working? So they are getting power? The bulbs have been tested several times and so have the seats that they go in...I've tried switch them out with other bulbs. I saw there were two plugs to the back of the dash... I thought maybe one was working illuminating the left half of the dash and the other isn't? Again none of this makes sense to me as I had voltage to the bulbs. I might add that when I test the voltage my battery was only at about 50 % charge and that could lend to why they were at 9 Vs instead of 12. Anyhow, its the next day drove to work, everything is back together and still no lights. Has anyone run into this? Thx!!
