i bought 3 194 led bulbs and put them in my dash and they blew a fuse under the dash,so i replaced the 7.5 fuse with a 10 andthe one led worked but the other 2 didnt so i figured they werent making contact so i put foil around the bottom of the led and put it back in and now my dash lights dont work even with the old bulbs.do i need a whole new gauge cluster or can i save my old one?and i also need 2 know wut i did wrong with the leds that only the one would work? help me

well when you blew the7.5 it should have been replaced with another7.5 fuse...... adding a 10 amp fuse to the system and then the tinfoil was not a good idea.... get a multi meter out again and start testing things....hope u didnt fry the whole thing

I replaced mine w/regular 194 bulbs. A tip I rec'd was if they don't work: remove & rotate the SOCKET of the affected bulb,NOT the bulb itself because it has something to do with the power & grounding of the SOCKET. Don't know if this has anything to do w/a blown fuse. Good luck
