Question dash lights

hi i am having a problem with my dash lights that i just replaced with leds from v-leds.com my speedometer lights up but my rpm gauge does not and switched the leds from the rpm side to the speedometer side and they work. My prblem is could it be a bad connector or the whole circuit board is fried so give some sugestion what the problem could be or should i get a cluster from the junkyard.

I would say bad connection on it but would have to see it in person. You can always run wires from the speedo side and make it work.

And check the voltage at the LED.

There is a good chance you might have the LED polarity backwards in some of the sockets. If the polarity is off, the LED won't light up.

If you are having problems with your dash lights, check with a member named O.L.T., he does dash lights on 92 - 96 ES. He did mine when my needles went out. Couldn't be happier and he does offer a lifetime warranty. You can look under the vendor marketplace here on CL, or check out his website at: www.lextech.org
