Dash Light Install....HELP

[T4RBoarder]

Well first I ordered all new red LED Dash Lights from Autolumination.com. In that order I had three Type A Neo-wedge bulbs that go in the ECT, Rear Defog, and A/C Switch, received....not one works. Why would those bulbs not work in ANY of the switched I had.

Issue two is I tried to take apart my gauge cluster to find out how many bulbs to use, and in order to find it out it looks like I have to disconnect the rear of the cluster. If i unplug the cluster will it screw up my gauges or can i unplug it anytime.

Issue Three and the most important. When i was taking off the part around the gauge cluster I tried to move it around cause the dimmer switch didn't want to unhook. I felt a little pop and found a wire going to the security system light became detached....it looks like a small black wire with two prong like things on the end. My question is can I hook the wire back up...if not will I still be able to use my keyless entry or will my car even start.

Anytime you work Electrical; always disconnect the source. He's right in stating that you could risk blowing fuses.

I see, even when you replace bulbs?

 

[session_road86]

Well, for the work he's doing it's recommended to disengage the battery. But if your only replacing like a 5v bulb then that's different.
