For the record, I was trying to be a friendly dick.

Confirmed I have a short somewhere. I drove around and hit a bump them BAM! All of the sudden the tach and stereo began working. Still no speed and tachometer display lights. Battle another day.

I still say your cluster is loopy.

Did you check that the plug to the cluster isn't loose?

Hello - bumping an old thread because there isn’t much information out there. I replaced the 2 bulbs that light the cluster but still no light.
I reinstalled the lights exactly how they were but still no luck. Is there a specific way that it has to be installed? Also, in reading this thread I see mentions of positive and negative, but does that only pertain to using LED which I did not use.
Thanks

Yes, the LED needs ± correct and an incandescent does not.
